“…In the equipment under consideration the contact points between the worker and the machine are, par excellence, feet and seat (Kunimatsu and Pathak 2012). The vibration transmitted to the hand-arm through contact with the controls of vehicles or the steering wheel is not relevant (Hill, Langis et al 2001;Donoghue 2004;Gallagher and Mayton 2007;Kunimatsu and Pathak 2012).…”

“…Another very important aspect of this activity is a strong correlation between the features and conditions in which the work is developed and the resulting exposure to WBV (Kunimatsu and Pathak 2012). The vibration suffered by workers when operating with vehicles depend on, among others, the external excitation force, the mass of the vehicle and environmental factors such as the condition of the pavement, the characteristics of the material handled, operations organization and worker experience (Mandal & Srivastava 2010;Frimpong, Galecki et al 2011).…”

“…Kunimatsu and Pathak (2012) 3.2.1 Rock drills Rock drills are, according to several authors, the equipments that produce lower Root Mean Squared (RMS) acceleration values over the occupational exposure. Howard, Sesek et al (2009) reached an acceleration of 0,30 m·s -2 and Van Niekerk, Heyns et al (2000) 0,16 m·s -2 on vertical axis (zz).…”

“…Rocks drills, shovels and dumpers are strongly present in open pit mining. In these ones, the vibration is transmitted mainly to the worker bodyWhole-Body Vibration (WBV) (Hill, Langis et al 2001;Donoghue 2004;Gallagher & Mayton 2007;Kunimatsu & Pathak 2012).…”

The main objective is to detect Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) patterns in different mining equipments along their working cycles. Three activities / equipment were studied (rock drill, shovel and dumper) in a north Portugal quarry. The WBV measurement and analysis was conducted in accordance with ISO 2631-1 (1997). It was studied three WBV transmission ways: 1) seat surface, 2) seat backrest and 3) cabin floor (feet). Rock drill shown a WBV pattern, where there was an extensive drilling phase, with residual accelerations values, and a short phase when the vehicle have to move to do another hole. In shovel, was not detected any associated pattern. In dumper, can be distinguished all tasks: loading, loaded and unloaded travel, dumping. Big differences were found when WBV is transmitted through the seat backrest, with the longitudinal x-axis dominating. Rock drill and dumper shown WBV patterns, as opposed to shovel.
