|
Has the maximum value (MPD) of noise |
Take periodic measurements of the noise and vibrations. |
|
Has the value of the vibration acceleration exceeded the maximum value (MPD) during the operation of the hand tools? |
Notify the workers of the results of the measurements. |
|
Are preliminary and periodic medical examinations being held? |
Send workers to preliminary and periodic medical examinations and make sure that they are conducted. |
| Is collective and personal protective equipment used (ear protectors or anti-vibration gloves) and/or other preventive activities? | Eliminate noisy and vibroactive technological processes and machines.
