Abstract

There are various ways of reducing the health-hazards of hand-transmitted vibration. One of the possible protective measures is the use of the anti-vibration gloves, but their efectiveness is still subject to discussion and many experts are questioning it. The procedure for measurement and evaluation of the vibration transmissibility of the anti-vibration gloves is given in ISO 10819-1996 and EN ISO 10819-1996 as well as in the National Standard HRN ISO 10819-2000. Due to the numerous objections on the testing procedure recommended by the above standards many researchers prefer field- testing. In order to assess the efectiveness of anti-vibration gloves of five different manufactureres the Faculty of Forestry – University of Zagreb in co-operation with the public enterprise Hrvatske šume Ltd. carried out a field-testing. The paper reports on the testing results.
