Assessing combined exposures of whole-body vibration and awkward posture--further results from application of a simultaneous field measurement methodology.
The drivers of ten vehicles (tram, helicopter, saloon car, van, forklift, two mobile excavators, wheel loader, tractor, elevating platform truck) were studied with regard to the combined exposures of whole-body vibration and awkward posture during occupational tasks. Seven degrees of freedom (DOFs), or body angles, were recorded as a function of time by means of the CUELA measuring system (Comp...
متن کاملWhole Body Vibration Exposures and Health Status among Professional Truck Drivers: A Cross-sectional Analysis.
Many professional truck drivers suffer from low back pain (LBP) which is thought to be associated with exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV). The objectives of this study were to: (i) characterize general health, regional body pain and WBV exposures, (ii) evaluate the associations between different WBV parameters and health outcomes, and (iii) determine whether there were factors which affect ...
متن کاملInvestigation of job stress among urban bus drivers with respect to daily noise and vibration exposures
Background and Objectives: Bus drivers are exposed to harmful agents such as noise and vibration which may led to increasing the level of job stress among them. The aim of this study was to evaluation of job stress among urban bus drivers with respect to daily noise and vibration exposures. Methods: This cross-sectional study carried out with participation of 103 urban bus drivers in Hamadan, ...
متن کاملWhole Body Vibration Exposures in Long-haul Truck Drivers
Many professional truck drivers experience low back pain (LBP) which is believed to be associated with exposure to whole body vibration (WBV). As a part of a randomized controlled trial, this study measured WBV exposures from 98 professional truck drivers continuously during their regular work shift (8-12 hours). The daily weighted average A(8), vibration dose value VDV(8), and vector sum A(8) ...
متن کاملAn investigation of a cluster of cervical herniated discs among container truck drivers with occupational exposure to whole-body vibration.
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine if occupational exposure to whole-body vibration is associated with cervical intervertebral disc herniation among container truck drivers. METHODS We conducted a walk-through survey among container truck drivers and unexposed workers. We also measured the vibration hazard of the container truck over the driver's back and seat when the driver was loading...
