"There are many industries for which exposure to WBV is hazardous to employee health. As a result, many companies have become interested in measuring vibration levels associated with the operation of equipment. However, field measurements of WBV can be challenging. Successfully dealing with these challenges is necessary if health hazards are to be minimized."
