Supplies information on possible adverse health effects due to exposure to vibration at work.

The aim of this CEN report is to provide information on the possible adverse health effects caused by exposure to vibration at work. The report addresses manufacturers as well as employers and employees using vibrating machinery in order to improve their understanding of the possible health problems arising from occupational exposure to vibration.

This CEN report is limited to the effects on health and does not cover the potential effects of vibration on comfort, human performance or vibration perception. Most of the information on whole-body vibration in this CEN report is based upon data available from research on human response to vibration of seated persons. There are only few data on the effects of vibration on persons in standing, reclining or recumbent positions. The information on both hand-transmitted vibration and whole-body vibration is based upon data from laboratory research on acute effects as well as upon data from epidemiologic studies.

Additional information may be obtained from the scientific literature (see Annex A).
