Scarlett Research Ltd AJS Braking © Scarlett Research Ltd 2007 Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) on Agricultural Vehicles - Research Update Dr Andy Scarlett

Scarlett Research Ltd AJS Braking © Scarlett Research Ltd 2007 l “Mechanical vibration that, when transmitted to the whole-body (when seated or standing), entails risks to worker health & safety” l A recognised problem upon agricultural vehicles l Regular, long-term WBV exposure has been shown to contribute to lower-back pain, but the precise risks are not well-defined l Emission and daily exposure levels had been assessed on ag. tractors, S.P. sprayers & ATVs, but not upon self-propelled harvesters l S.P. forage harvesters deemed likely to be a WBV ‘worst case’ of ‘harvesting machines’ Whole-Body Vibration on Ag. Vehicles

Scarlett Research Ltd AJS Braking WBV on Agricultural Vehicles

Scarlett Research Ltd AJS Braking WBV on Agricultural Vehicles

Scarlett Research Ltd AJS Braking WBV on Self-Propelled Foragers ● 2 nd Cut grass and maize silaging operations investigated

Scarlett Research Ltd AJS Braking WBV on Self-Propelled Foragers ● ‘On-Road’ travel generates the highest levels but, overall, WBV is unlikely to be a great concern on self propelled foragers during typical working day lengths

Scarlett Research Ltd AJS Braking WBV on Self-Propelled Foragers ● Self propelled forager WBV levels are ‘moderate’ compared with certain other agricultural vehicles

Scarlett Research Ltd AJS Braking © Scarlett Research Ltd 2007 l No recognised testing methodology for WBV assessment upon agricultural tractors l Tractors have been shown to be a potential WBV problem ……. Complicated by the various types of operation & tractor-implement configurations employed l Vehicles frequently fitted with WBV-reducing features, but no recognised method to assess the effectiveness of these axle / cab / seat suspension systems l Joint industry / HSE / private trust - funded research study being instigated to investigate the issue WBV on Ag. Vehicles – Where Next ?
