Tip(s) for VibAdVisor VDV: In the time inputs, some gadjets apply a pattern of hh:mm:ss followed by AM or PM. So, to enter 00:30, that is, 30 minutes of exposure, for example, one should use: 12:30 AM (00:30). In case of working with exposures above 12 hours when, for example: exposure time of 14:30, the value 02:30 PM should be used.

When assessing intermittent vibration (mean of transportation) it is necessary to use the vibration dose value (VDV), a cumulative measurement of the vibration level received over an 8-hour or 16-hour period. The vibration dose value (VDV) is applied only to whole-body vibration (WBV) and a generic term used where any vibration of any frequency is transmitted to the human body, especially where there is high vibration and shock in the spine.

Whole-Body Vibration is experienced when sitting, standing or lying on a vibrating surface. For example, a forklift truck operator, tractor, helicopters, boats may be exposed to vibration through the seat, backrest or when standing by the feet resulting in WBV. These vibrations can also be transmitted when lying down, needing to exchange the axes assessment carefully with the weights in the x, y and z. The exposure action value (EAV) is a daily amount of vibration exposure above which employers are required to take action to control exposure. The greater the exposure level, the greater the risk and the more action employers will need to take to reduce the risk. For VDV the EAV is a daily exposure of 9.1 m/s1,75. The exposure limit value (ELV) is the maximum amount of vibration an employee may be exposed to on any single day. For VDV the ELV is a daily exposure of 21,0 m/s1,75. It represents a high risk above which employees should not be exposed.

The app ViBAdvisor VDV is a extremely easy to use calculator for estimating vibration exposures, based on partial normalized VDVP, Max VDVRaxis and VDVRv (Combined). It is a quick tool for auditing and analyze the measurement results and occupational reports. Issues reporting of occupational vibration and daily exposure help people to control and preserve health and safety. This App has as innovative feature complying the requirements of any regulations, normative criterion or CURRENT legislation: NHO-09, European Directive and ISO 2631. Just changing the App settings clearly and intelligently allowed the evaluation in different standards of input data. Automatically sending email as a report.
