SCHEDULE 2 Whole-Body Vibration

Part I-Daily exposure to vibration

The daily exposure to vibration (A(8)) of a person is ascertained using the formula:

where:

• a_w is the vibration magnitude (root-mean-square frequency-weighted acceleration magnitude) in one of the three orthogonal directions, x, y and z, at the supporting surface;

• T is the duration of exposure to the vibration magnitude a_w;

• T₀ is the reference duration of 8 hours (28,800 seconds); and

• k is a multiplying factor.
