| This is the basic vibration directive
brought in under the European framework directive concerning OSH
(see CIS 89-1401). Contents: scope (all activities where workers may
be exposed to vibration); definitions of hand-arm and whole-body
vibration; exposure limits (hand-arm vibration: 5m/s²
for 8h daily exposure limit and 2.5m/s²
for 8h daily exposure action value; whole-body vibration: 1.15 and
0.5m/s², respectively; at the choice of
the Member States; obligations of
employers (risk determination and assessment, provisions aimed at
avoiding and reducing exposure, information and training of workers,
worker consultation and participation); miscellaneous provisions
(health surveillance, derogations). |

Part 1: General requirements : The 1st part of ISO 5349 specifies general requirements for measuring and reporting exposure to vibration by hand in three orthogonal axes. It defines a frequency weighting filters and limiters band to allow a uniform comparison of measurements. The values obtained can be used to predict adverse effects of vibrations transmitted by hand over the frequency range covered by the octave bands between 8 Hz and 1 000 Hz. This part of ISO 5349 is applicable to periodic vibration, random or non-periodic
vibration.
Part 2: Practical guidance for measurement
at the workplace :
This part of ISO 5349 describes the precautions to make representative measurements of vibrations and determine the duration of daily exposure for each transaction in order to calculate the total value of equivalent vibration for a period of 8 h (daily exposure vibration). It offers a means to determine the operations to be taken into account when determining the exposure to vibration. This part of ISO 5349 applies to all situations where people are exposed to vibration in hand-arm by hand-held or hand-guided, parts or vibrating worked the controls of machinery mobile or fixed.

This standard defines
measurement means to evaluate seats behavior
regarding vibration.
Particularly, it defines the characteristics,
dimensions and properties that semi-rigid interfaces
to be placed on seats must comply to.
