Whole-body Vibration Exposure Experienced by Dumper Operators in Opencast Mining According to ISO 2631-1:1997 and ISO 2631-5:2004: A Case Study.

Unlabelled: The study characterizes whole-body vibration exposure (WBV) experienced by dumper operators in opencast mining in India.

Objective: Comparison of WBV risk of dumper operators as per ISO 2631-1 and ISO 2631-5 standard which are based on dominant axis RMS acceleration and estimated static compression dose (Sed), respectively.

Method: Field study was conducted for 26 dumper operators.
