Tasks of the day
Magnitude: use the manufacturer's declared value × in-use factor, or measured data. Typical: angle grinder 4–8 m/s², chipping hammer 10–20, chainsaw 4–6, forklift 0.6–1.1 (WBV), articulated dumper 0.8–1.3.
| Task / tool | Type | Vibration m/s² | Exposure min/day | Partial A(8) | Points |
|---|
Action / limit values (2002/44/EC): HAV — EAV 2.5 m/s² A(8), ELV 5.0 m/s² A(8). WBV — EAV 0.5 m/s² A(8), ELV 1.15 m/s² A(8). Above EAV: vibration reduction program + health surveillance. Above ELV: immediate action to reduce below the limit. Points system: 100 points = EAV (HSE convention), partial points add linearly.
