Whole Body Vibration (WBV) Calculator - Workplace Safety Compliance
SafetyRAC’s FREE whole body vibration (WBV) calculator provides employers and safety practitioners with a powerful and easy to use tool to calculate daily vibration exposure and compare it to the legal Exposure Action Value (EAV) and Exposure Limit Value (ELV). This tool is built to assist compliance with the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005.
Calculating EAV and ELV for Whole Body Vibration
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) refers to the transmission of vibration into the entire body of workers operating vehicles, machinery, and equipment. Prolonged exposure to WBV can lead to serious health issues, such as lower back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders. Employers are required to assess and manage risks from whole body vibration exposure. This free whole body vibration calculator helps employers estimate daily exposure levels and ensure compliance with legal exposure limits.
