What is PD CEN/TR 1030-2-Guidelines for vibration hazards reduction management about?
PD CEN/TR 1030 is a technical report on hand-arm vibration that provides guidelines for vibration hazards reduction. PD CEN/TR 1030-2 provides the best industry guidance on measurement measures at the workplace to ensure protection against vibration hazards. PD CEN/TR 1030-2 is the second part of a multi-part series that outlines practicable measures for the reduction and control of health hazards associated with exposure to hand-arm vibration at work.
PD CEN/TR 1030-2 covers the following principal aspects:
- Identification of main sources of hand-arm vibration at work
- Vibration reduction by re-considering task, product, process and design
- How to select low-vibration machinery, including vibration-reducing features, auxiliary equipment for control of vibration
- Other issues, e.g., personal protection and its limitation
- Management measures for the control of hand-arm vibration exposure
- Health surveillance
PD CEN/TR 1030-2 supplements the European “Guide to good practice on hand-arm vibration” and provides a practical professional aid for Member States’ health and safety authorities or labour authorities who write national guidance for managers, health and safety officers, engineers, planning and purchasing staff and others.
Who is PD CEN/TR 1030-2-Guidelines for vibration hazards reduction management for?
PD CEN/TR 1030-2 on the guidelines for vibration hazards reduction management is useful for:
- Industrial machine manufacturers
- Industrial machine operators
- Occupational health and safety departments
- Risk assessment authorities
- Quality assurance departments
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 1030-2-Guidelines for vibration hazards reduction management?
The habitual and prolonged use of machinery which transmits vibration to the hand can cause disorders of the upper limbs. European legislation requires that employers assess and take measures to prevent or reduce workplace risks to the health and safety of their employee
PD CEN/TR 1030-2 provides you with identification of main sources of hand-arm vibration at work, vibration reduction by task, product and process re-design, selection of low-vibration machinery, anti-vibration systems and auxiliary equipment, and much more.
The guidelines provided by PD CEN/TR 1030-2 assist in improving the performance and quality of the machinery and ensure reduction in the risk of injuries from hand-arm vibration. With obedience and compliance to PD CEN/TR 1030-2, you can enhance the efficacy of the machinery and manufacture a standardized product.
