OPPBTP at a conference on Expoprotection

Bernard Bibollet and Patrick Goulvestre, respectively project manager for machinery and lifting equipment and project manager for signage, roadworks, networks and pipelines, at the OPPBT Technical Department, will speak on November 4th from 2:00 PM to 2:45 PM at the Expoprotection trade fair for a conference entitled:

 “Exposure to mechanical vibrations in the construction industry”.

Indeed, workers who use vibrating tools or mechanical systems and drive motorized vehicles or machines are subjected to vibrations that impact the entire body or part of it, particularly the upper limbs.

The effects of vibration depend on several factors which can be aggravated by the duration of daily exposure.

Thus, the presentations of our two experts will help define what vibrations are and help participants assess the daily exposure value. They will demonstrate that prevention is possible through technical measures or technological choices.
