ISO 5349 is an international standard on mechanical vibration that discusses the measurement and evaluation of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration. ISO 5349-2 provides practical guidance for measurement at the workplace to ensure protection to workers against mechanical vibration hazards.
ISO 5349-2 is the second part of a multi-part series that provides guidelines for the measurement and evaluation of hand-transmitted vibration at the workplace under ISO 5349-1.
ISO 5349-2 describes the precautions to be taken to make representative vibration measurements and to determine the daily exposure time for each operation to calculate the 8-h energy-equivalent vibration total value (daily vibration exposure).
ISO 5349-2 provides a means to determine the relevant operations which should be taken into account when determining the vibration exposure.
ISO 5349-2 applies to all situations where people are exposed to vibration transmitted to the hand-arm system by hand-held or hand-guided machinery, vibrating workpieces, or controls of mobile or fixed machinery.
ISO 5349-2 on the guidance for measurement of hand-transmitted vibration is useful for:
Operating machinery may expose workers to hand-transmitted mechanical vibration which can interfere with comfort, working efficiency and, in some circumstances, health and safety.
ISO 5349-2 provides you with quantities to be evaluated, preparation of the measurement procedure, measurement of vibration magnitude, the uncertainty of evaluation of daily vibration exposure, calculation of the daily vibration exposure, and much more.
The guidance provided by ISO 5349-2 assist you in the measurement and evaluation of hand-transmitted vibration, improve performance and quality of machinery and ensure protection against the risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome.
With obedience and compliance to ISO 5349-2, you can enhance the efficacy of the machinery and manufacture a standardized product.EN ISO 5349-2:2001/A1:2015
