Whole body vibration is usually contracted by machinery workers who sit on a machine that vibrates considerably, most commonly affected are farm workers who spend a lot of time on tractors and factory workers. Sitting or standing for long periods of time whilst being subjected to violent vibrations will almost definitely result in whole body vibration which usually is concentrated in the back.
Some ways to combat whole body vibration are to have proper suspension on any agricultural machinery and well maintained seating and perform regular vibration control checks on your equipment. Where possible you can employ a job rotation scheme so that workers are not being subject to the same environment every day. If anyone feels that they are suffering or showing any signs of whole body vibration then they must report it to you so that you can take steps to ensure that the condition does not escalate.
July of two thousand and five brings the new whole body vibration directive to be enforced forthwith, this new law will see a cap on exposure and vibration limits deemed safe for workers to be exposed to.
