Mechanical vibration and shock - Hand-transmitted vibration - Influence of coupling forces at the hand-machine interface on exposure evaluation

This Technical Report provides an overview of the current state of knowledge on the relationship between vibration exposures, coupling forces and damage to the hand-arm system. It provides general guidance on how to build the reduction of coupling forces into workplace action plans to control vibration exposures and how the reduction of coupling forces may be incorporated into machine design. An example of an empirical relationship that accounts for the coupling force in assessments of vibration magnitudes is also provided.

Chocs et vibrations mécaniques - Vibrations transmises à la main - Evaluation de l'exposition aux effets des forces de couplage à l'interface entre la main et la machine

Le présent Rapport technique constitue une revue de l’état actuel des connaissances sur la relation entre l’exposition aux vibrations, les forces de couplage et les atteintes du système main-bras. Il apporte des conseils généraux sur la manière de concevoir la diminution des forces de couplage dans des plans d’action relatifs au poste de travail afin de contrôler l’exposition aux vibrations et sur la façon dont la diminution de ces forces peut être prise en compte dans la conception d’une machine. Un exemple d’une relation empirique de la quantification des forces de couplage dans l’évaluation de l’ampleur des vibrations est également donné.
