Using noise exposure histories to quantify duration of vibration exposure in tree fallers / Kay Teschke, Robert L. Brubaker and Brenda J. Morrison

Sumario: A study of tree fallers in the British Columbia forest industry was done to determine if noise histories could be used to monitor the daily duration of exposure to hand-arm vibration from chain saws. Fields observations and noise dosimetry showed that chain saw noise was distinguishable from other sound sources in fallers'work environments. Using data from noise dosimetry synchronized with observations of fallers'chain saw use, a model of sound pressure levels predictive of chain saw operating mode was developed
