PD 6585-1:1996 is a publicly available specification (PD) titled "Hand-arm vibration - Guidelines for vibration hazards reduction - Engineering methods by design of machinery." This document provides guidance on reducing the hazards associated with hand-arm vibration through engineering methods, specifically focusing on the design of machinery.
Here's a breakdown of the key elements in the title:
Hand-arm Vibration: Refers to the vibration transmitted from machinery to the hands and arms of individuals operating the equipment. Prolonged exposure to hand-arm vibration can lead to various health issues, including hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS).
Guidelines for Vibration Hazards Reduction: The document offers guidance on reducing the hazards associated with hand-arm vibration. This may include recommendations, best practices, and methodologies to mitigate the adverse effects of vibration on individuals exposed to it.
Engineering Methods by Design of Machinery: The focus is on engineering solutions applied to the design of machinery to minimize vibration hazards. This involves incorporating design features that reduce or control the transmission of vibration to the hands and arms of the operator.
