Influence of Physical Properties of Concrete on Operator´s Exposure to Noise and Hand-transmitted Vibration

Abstract: The contribution is focused on the assessment of influence of material properties on operator’s exposure to noise and hand-transmitted vibration. Screening measurements of work exposure to noise and hand-transmitted vibration were made in accordance with relevant standards for drilling in four types of concrete with different physical characteristics and used for different applications in the construction industry. The measurements were carried out twice in four different types of drilling using a hammer drill, Makita HR 2440. Results obtained by the screening measurements testify to the importance of material physical properties to the amount of operator’s exposure to noise and hand-transmitted vibration.
