0. Introduction
1. Scope
2. Characterization of hand-transmitted vibration
3. Measurement of hand-transmitted vibration
4. Characterization of hand-transmitted vibration
exposure
Appendices
A. State of knowledge of dose-effect relationship
B. Guidelines on preventive procedures
C. Bibliography
D. Calculation of acceleration level
Tables
1. Characteristics of band-limiting and weighting
filters for the frequency weighting Wh
2. Response of filter and asymptotic approximations
to the frequency weighting defined in table 1
3. Values for weighting factor Ki for conversion of
one-third octave band measurements to weighted
measurements
4. Values for weighting factor Ki for conversion of
octave band measurements to weighted measurements
5. Frequency weighted vibration acceleration magnitudes
(m.s(-2) r.m.s.) which may be expected to produce
finger blanching in 10% of persons exposed
Figures
1. Coordinate system for the hand
2. Modulus of the frequency weighting Wh with band-
limiting filters
3. Example of d.c. shift
Guidance on general methods for measuring and reporting hand-transmitted vibration exposure in three orthogonal axes over the frequency range 8 Hz to 1000 Hz. Also guidance on the evaluation of hand-transmitted vibration specified in terms of a frequency weighted vibration acceleration and daily exposure time.
