Hand-arm vibration calculator

The calculator may be used online or can be downloaded and saved on a computer as a spreadsheet file (Microsoft Excel).
In addition to the partial and total exposure values, the calculator also uses the vibration magnitudes to produce the following values:

      • Exposure points per hour . The number if exposure points for every hour of exposure time for the individual tool or process.
      • Time to reach EAV (exposure action value). This is the total exposure time required for the individual tool or process, before the exposure action value (2.5 m/s2A(8) or 100 points) is reached.
      • Time to reach ELV (exposure limit value). This is the total exposure time required for the individual tool or process, before the exposure limit value (5 m/s2A(8) or 400 points) is reached.
