EC Vibration Directive 2002/44/EC (EC Vibration Directive) was established to protect users of land vehicles plus air and sea craft from the effects of vibration and shock injury.
The EC Vibration Directive sets out regulations for the control of health and safety risks from the exposure of workers to 'hand arm' and 'whole body' vibration in the workplace.
Millions of workers in Europe are exposed to mechanical vibration transmitted to the hands from powered hand tools or to the whole body through industrial seating.
