When to consider vibration monitoring systems
When looking at the issue in an occupational sense you can either be monitoring hand-arm shaking caused from use of tools such as a jack hammer and other electric tools or whole-body tremor from use of plant machinery, vehicles etc.
Sydney Workers may be overexposed to vibration if they are drivers of heavy machinery that work long shifts and especially if they often drive on construction sites and dirt roads. The use of older plant equipment and systems may heighten the exposure risk; newer equipment incorporates low vibration features.
Environmental vibration on a large scale resulting from construction works, rail & road traffic or site operation of plant and machinery can cause disturbance to occupants of buildings and impact on their quality of life or damage a joining infrastructure or buildings.
EnviroScience assessments and services may be necessary to be in compliance with the EPA or development application requirements during construction. In a workplace where your employees are exposed to the problem, legislation requires (Work Health & Safety Regulation 2011) that risks to health and safety must be managed.
