Abstract
Six portable blowers were chosen in order to evaluate the potential risks to operators through their exposure to hand-arm and whole body vibrations. These evaluations are based on internationally standars, with particular reference to Italian legislation of August 19th, 2005, nr 187 (directive 2002/44/EC), which lays down specific measures regarding exposure to mechanical vibration and its affect on health and measures regarding exposure to mechanical vibration and its affect on health and safety. All the levels of accelerations normalized to 8 hours have been measured and referred to a 7 hours daily period of exposure, and all results checked against the exposure limit values.
