Variation in exposure to whole-body vibration for operators of forwarder vehicles - aspects on measurement strategies and prevention

Exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV) may cause health problems, e.g. lumbago. The risk will depend on intensity and duration. Exposure to WBV in vehicles varies due to several factors as the vehi ...
