Hand-arm vibration - Guidelines for vibration hazards reduction - Part 2: Management measures at the workplace

This Technical Report outlines practicable measures for the reduction and control of health hazards associated with exposure to hand-arm vibration at work. It supplements the European "Guide to good practice on hand-arm vibration" and provides a practical professional aid for Member States’ health and safety authorities or labour authorities who write national guidance for managers, health and safety officers, engineers, planning and purchasing staff and others.
This Technical Report covers the following principal aspects:
a)   identification of main sources of hand-arm vibration at work;
b)   vibration reduction by re-considering task, product, process and design;
c)   how to select low-vibration machinery, including vibration reducing features, auxiliary equipment for control of vibration;
d)   other issues, e.g. personal protection and its limitation;
e)   management measures for the control of hand-arm vibration exposure;
f)   health surveillance.

Le présent Rapport technique expose les mesures pratiques pour la réduction et le contrôle des dangers pour la santé associés à l'exposition aux vibrations main-bras sur le lieu de travail. Il vient en complément du « Guide des bonnes pratiques en matière de Vibrations main-bras ») et fournit une aide professionnelle pratique aux autorités chargées de la santé et de la sécurité ou du travail au sein des États membres qui rédigent les guides nationaux à l'attention des dirigeants, des responsables de santé et de sécurité, des ingénieurs, des services de planification et d'achat et d'autres organismes.
Le présent Rapport technique couvre les aspects principaux suivants :
-   l'identification des sources principales de vibrations main-bras sur le lieu de travail ;
-   la réduction des vibrations par réexamen et modification de la tâche, du produit et du procédé ;
-   la façon de choisir des machines peu vibrantes, comprenant des dispositifs de réduction des vibrations et des équipements auxiliaires de contrôle des vibrations ;
-   d'autres points, par exemple la protection individuelle et ses limites ;
-   les mesures de management pour le contrôle de l'exposition à des vibrations main-bras ;
-   un suivi médical.

Vibracije dlan-roka - Smernice za zmanjšanje tveganja zaradi vibracij - 2. del: Organizacijski ukrepi na delovnem mestu

Ta osnutek tehničnega poročila opredeljuje uporabne ukrepe za zmanjšanje in nadzor tveganja za zdravje v zvezi z izpostavljenostjo vibracijam dlan-roka med delom. Dopolnjuje evropski »Vodič dobre prakse pri vibracijah dlan-roka« in omogoča praktično profesionalno pomoč organom v državah članicah za zdravje in varnost ali organom za delo, ki pišejo nacionalne smernice za upravnike, uradnike za zdravstvo in varnost, inženirje, osebje za načrtovanje in vzdrževanje itd.
Ta osnutek tehničnega poročila zajema naslednje osnovne vidike:
– identifikacija glavnih virov vibracij dlan-roka pri delu;
– zmanjšanje vibracij s ponovno obravnavo opravila, izdelka, postopka in zasnove;
– izbira nizkovibracijskih strojev, vključno s funkcijami za zmanjšanje vibracij, pomožno opremo za nadzor nad vibracijami;
– druge težave, npr. osebna zaščita in njene omejitve;
– ukrepi vodstva za nadzor izpostavljenosti vibracijam dlan-roka;
– nadzor zdravja.
