This standard specifies the recommended method for the measurement, data analysis, vibration and
health risk assessments, and reporting of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration. A standard
format is established for measurement, data analysis, vibration and health risk assessments, and
reporting of hand-transmitted vibration, periodic or random, in three orthogonal axes, in the frequency
range from 5.6 Hz to 1,400 Hz. Three normative annexes provide guidance for vibration and health
risk assessments, mitigating health risks, training, and medical surveillance related to handtransmitted
vibration.
