Bookmark or Share- CCOHS: Noise - Control MeasuresVibration of large structures (e.g., ventilation ducts, guards on machines, equipment supporting structures, etc.) The sound may be amplified by reflective surfaces that are around the devices. Aerodynamic sources of noise are air or fluid flows through pipes and fans or as the pressure drops in the air distribution system.
- Whole-body vibration: An effective workout? - Mayo ClinicYou may find a whole-body vibration machine at a local gym, or you can buy one for home use. Advocates say that as little as 15 minutes a day of whole-body vibration three times a week may aid weight loss, burn fat, improve flexibility, enhance blood flow, reduce muscle soreness after exercise, build strength and decrease the stress hormone cortisol.
- CCOHS: Vibration - Measurement, Control and StandardsVibration exposure direction is also important and is measured in defined directions. Vibration frequencies and duration of exposure are also determined. How hard a person grips a tool affects the amount of vibrational energy entering the hands; therefore, hand-grip force is another important factor in the exposure assessment.
- CCOHS: Vibration - Health EffectsVibration-induced white finger is the most common condition among the operators of hand-held vibrating tools. The symptoms of vibration-induced white finger are aggravated when the hands are exposed to cold. Vibration can cause changes in tendons, muscles, bones and joints, and can affect the nervous system.
- Standards Vibration - Measurement, Control and Vibrationwhole-body vibration” (published in 1997, and confirmed current in 2014). The Standard focuses on the possible effects of vibration on health, comfort and perception, and on the incidence of motion sickness. They caution that vibration is often complex, contains many frequencies, occurs in several directions, and changes over time.
