b.Adjust the mirrors in order to minimize twisted posture.

c.Provide breaks in order to reduce long periods of sitting.

d.Avoid jumping from the cab.

e.Minimize repeated handling of loads and lifting of loads.

f.Minimize any shocks and impacts during sports and leisure activities.

The vibration information and the calculation procedure is based on “ISO/TR 25398 Mechanical Vibration - Guideline for the assessment of exposure to whole body vibration of ride on operated earthmoving machines”. Harmonized data is measured by international institutes, organizations and manufacturers.

This literature provides information about assessing the whole body vibration exposure of operators of earthmoving equipment. The method is based on measured vibration emission under real working conditions for all machines.
