Introduction
The habitual and prolonged use of machinery which transmits vibration to the hand can cause disorders
of the upper limbs. European legislation — especially the Physical Agents Directive 2002/44/EC
(Vibrations at work) — requires that employers assess and take measures to prevent or reduce
workplace risks to the health and safety of their employees. The basic strategy to be adopted is defined
in the European legislation including the Directive 2002/44/EC and described in the “Non-binding
guide to good practice for implementing Directive 2002/44/EC (Vibrations at work)”, Part I “Guide to
good practice on hand-arm vibration”, which is addressed to the European Member States. It covers the
following areas of measures:
a) assessment of risks;
b) identification of necessary preventative and/or protective measures;
c) organization for the effective implementation of preventative and protective measures;
d) implementation of an adequate programme of measures to prevent or reduce risks.
This revised Technical Report CEN/TR 1030-2 (first edition was published as CR 1030-2 in 1995)
primarily provides additional information and examples to the European “Guide to good practice on
hand-arm vibration” (Part I of the Non-binding guide to good practice for implementing Directive
2002/44/EC (Vibrations at work)).
This Technical Report CEN/TR 1030-2 provides additional information for Member States’ health and
safety authorities or labour authorities as well as managers, health and safety officers, engineers,
planning and purchasing staff and others on further aspects of vibration effect reduction and control,
which supports the practical implementation of the requirements of the Physical Agents Directive
2002/44/EC (Vibrations at work). Effective protection against vibration generally requires a
combination of measures which can be categorized as technical measures and management measures;
see Figure 1.

4 Identification of main sources of hand-arm vibration at work
A starting point is to consider the work being carried out, the processes involved and the tools and
equipment used. Use of hand-held, hand-guided or hand-fed powered equipment should be managed.
The risk assessment should:
a) identify where there can be a risk from hand-arm vibration;
b) estimate workers’ exposures using information on tool vibration and information gathered on
patterns and durations of tool use and compare them with the exposure action value and exposure
limit value as specified in the Physical Agents Directive 2002/44/EC (Vibrations at work);
c) identify the available risk controls;
d) identify people who can be at particular risk, e.g. young or pregnant workers, those who have had
surgery on hands and arms or have known disorders similar to those that can be caused by
vibration;
e) if it is likely to help plan and implement controls, make a more detailed assessment of exposure, e.g.
including measurement;
f) identify the steps to control and monitor hand-arm vibration risks;
g) record the assessment, the steps that have been taken and their effectiveness;
h) be revised periodically, e.g. if there are changes in the work equipment or if workers report signs or
symptoms that can be attributed to vibration injury.
Figure 2 shows sample ranges of vibration magnitudes of some of the most common tools and machines
that create the risks. Annex A lists more examples of tools for which the management of vibration
exposure is needed.
The values listed in Figure 2 are values from real-world/field measurements at working places with
tool applications/conditions at companies according to EN ISO 5349-2 (the values of Figure 2 are not
manufacturer data or manufacturer-declared values).
Annex I provides additional information about tool characteristics and work tasks for the tools, listed in
Figure 2.

It is important to keep workers and their representatives involved and informed in the assessment of
vibration risk. An effective partnership with workers helps to ensure that the information used for the
risk assessment is based on realistic assessments of the work being carried out and the time taken to do
that work.
The factors that govern a person’s daily vibration exposure are:
— the frequency-weighted magnitude (level) of vibration and
— the length of time (duration) the person is exposed to it.
The greater the magnitude or the longer the duration of exposure, the greater is the person’s vibration
exposure.
It is essential that the various sources of vibration with risks for health and safety and their
characteristics are known, exposed employees are identified and a reliable estimate is made of their
exposures. In order to do this, it is necessary to know
— the machinery, processes, tools and tasks in use within the company, which are likely to expose
employees to vibration;
— who is likely to be exposed sufficiently to vibration to be at risk.
An initial identification of sources of exposure to hand-arm vibration can be made by listing all the
vibrating processes, machines and tools used at work which require employees to hold or guide a
vibrating handle, control, work-piece or other vibrating surface. A list of the more common machines
and processes which expose people at work to hand-arm vibration is given in Annex A.
Furthermore, it is necessary to know
1) the number and location of employees for each of the tasks which expose them to hand-arm
vibration;
2) representative vibration values and the likely range in values for each machine, tool, etc. which
create the hazard and the vibration exposure of persons at risk;
3) uses of the machines (if any) that are likely to cause increased vibration risk;
4) daily duration and pattern (e.g. tasks and tools) of vibration exposure.
If there is a range of well-maintained modern tools, exposure above the exposure action value is likely
for 15 min use of hammer action tools or 1 h of other action tools. It is often possible to select
equipment carefully for lower vibration so that it can be used for longer than these periods.
2
NOTE 1 The exposure action value standardized to an 8 h reference period is 2,5 m/s as defined in
Directive 2002/44/EC (Vibrations at work). Some people regularly exposed to this level of vibration will develop
symptoms after some years of exposure.
Most older/traditional designs of tool will reach the exposure action value after much shorter
durations. Also designs of tool without vibration minimization (state of the art of minimization
measures as required by the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC) will reach the exposure action value
after much shorter durations.
The daily vibration exposure A(8) represents the contribution of all machines, processes or tools to the
daily vibration exposure of the persons who operate or use it. The daily vibration exposure A(8) for a
worker carrying out one process or operating one tool can be calculated from a magnitude and
exposure time:

Like the vibration magnitude, the daily vibration exposure has units of metres per second squared
(m/s2).
Important is the contribution made by each source of vibration to the daily vibration exposure A(8) of a
person. If a person is exposed to more than one source of vibration, then partial vibration exposures are
calculated from the magnitude and duration for each source. The overall daily vibration exposure can
be calculated from the partial vibration exposure values:

( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
1 2 3
where
A (8), A (8), A (8), etc. are the partial vibration exposure values for the different vibration
1 2 1
sources.
Occasional exposure to vibration is likely to present a different risk than exposure everyday.
Various methods of calculating vibration exposure have already been developed in many Member
States, e.g. HSE Guidance (GB), INRS Guidance (FR) or DGUV-IFA/BAuA Guidance (DE), other national
guidances and most of these are summarized in the EU Guide [14] (Annex D “Tools for calculating daily
exposures”) and in CEN/TR 15350:2013, 3.5 and 7.3.
The values derived in this way show which tools and processes impose the greatest total vibration
burden on the workforce and this could be taken into account when deciding priorities for action.
