Many operator’s slow down to compensate for rough terrain. The suspension system reduces shocks and vibrations caused by the terrain and machine which can cause operator fatigue. Ferris zero turn mowers are equipped with four-wheel Independent Suspension, similar to car’s and modern agricultural tractors. These are the minimum requirements governments may raise for the protection of the health of the employee.įerris occupies a unique position. The values are the result of a daily exposure, normalized to an 8 hour reference period.
The legislation has adopted two values: an exposure action value and an exposure limit value. Large shocks and jolts may cause health risks including back pain. Whole-body vibration (WBV) is transmitted through the seat and footrest of the operator. Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) can be prevented, but once the damage is done it will be permanent. It can result in painful and disabling disorders of the blood vessels, nerves and joints.
Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV) is caused by the use of power tools. In a world with increasingly stringent safety requirements for workers, employees are allowed to use a lawn mower no more than a certain number of hours a day, depending on the vibration exposure. Exposure to whole-body vibration and hand/arm vibration may cause the widespread recognized industrial disease “Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome” (HAVS) which is a disorder that affects the blood vessels, nerves, muscles and joints of the hand, wrist and arm caused by continuous use of vibrating machinery. Shocks caused by rough terrain can cause severe back problems. 9th January 2018-Many people are not aware of the risks that vibration can cause to hands and fingers.
