Influence of personal, machine and operational factors on whole body vibration of dumper operators: a statistical approach

Key Points

• To investigate how personal, machine, and operational factors affect whole body vibration experienced by dumper operators.
• Statistical analysis of whole body vibration measurements from dumper operators.
• Identification of influencing factors through multiple regression techniques.
• Assessment of personal, machine, and operational parameters related to vibration exposure.
• Significant correlation between personal factors and whole body vibration levels.
• Operational factors had a measurable impact on vibration exposure rates.
• Machine factors contributed variably to the overall vibration experience reported by operators.
