Introduction
What is a Berufsgenossenschaft ?
A Berufsgenossenschaft is a part of the German
social security system. The social security
system was established shortly before 1900,
providing - health insurance scheme - pension
funds and - the Berufsgenossenschaften
5
Introduction
  • Berufsgenossenschaften Institutions for
    statutory accident insurance and prevention for
    trade and industry

6
Introduction
Berufsgenossenschaften are corporations under
public law.
They comply with the duties they have been
entrusted with by the legislature comprising the
prevention of accidents as well as accident
insurance in cases of occupational accidents,
commuting accidents and occupational diseases
Every employer is a member of the
Berufsgenossenschaft organisation

    institutions for statutory accident insurance and
    prevention for trade and industry aredivided

WBV 2002/44/EC
  • DIRECTIVE 2002/44/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
    AND OF THE COUNCIL
  • of 25 June 2002
  • on the minimum health and safety requirements
    regarding the exposure of workers to the risks
  • arising from physical agents (vibration)
    (sixteenth individual Directive within the
    meaning of
  • Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC)

20
WBV 2002/44/EC
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE
EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty
establishing the European Community, and in
particular Article 137(2) thereof,
It is a Directive based on article 137 (Minimum
requirements)
21
WBV 2002/44/EC
(4) This Directive lays down minimum
requirements, thus giving Member States the
option of maintaining or adopting more favourable
provisions for the protection of workers, in
particular the fixing of lower values for the
daily action value or the daily exposure limit
value for vibrations. The implementation of this
Directive should not serve to justify any
regression in relation to the situation which
already prevails in each Member State.
22
WBV 2002/44/EC
(6) The level of exposure to vibration can be
more effectively reduced by incorporating
preventive measures into the design of work
stations and places of work and by selecting work
equipment, procedures and methods so as to give
priority to reducing the risks at source.
Provisions relating to work equipment and methods
thus contribute to the protection of the workers
involved. See e. g. requirements of 98/37/EC
23
WBV 2002/44/EC
(7) Employers should make adjustments in the
light of technical progress and scientific
knowledge regarding risks related to exposure to
vibration, with a view to improving the safety
and health protection of workers.
24
WBV 2002/44/EC
Article 1 Aim and scope 1. This Directive, which
is the 16th individual Directive within the
meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive
89/391/EEC, lays down minimum requirements for
the protection of workers from risks to their
health and safety arising or likely to arise from
exposure to mechanical vibration.
25
WBV 2002/44/EC
Article 1 Aim and scope 2. The requirements of
this Directive shall apply to activities in which
workers are or are likely to be exposed to risks
from mechanical vibration during their work.
26
WBV 2002/44/EC
SECTION II OBLIGATION OF EMPLOYERS Article
4 Determination and assessment of risks 1. In
carrying out the obligations laid down in Article
6(3) and Article 9(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC,
the employer shall assess and, if necessary,
measure the levels of mechanical vibration to
which workers are exposed. Measurement shall be
carried out in accordance with Point 2 of Part A
or Point 2 of Part B of the Annex to this
Directive, as appropriate.
27
WBV 2002/44/EC
Article 4 Determination and assessment of risks
2. The level of exposure to mechanical
vibration may be assessed by means of observation
of specific working practices and reference to
relevant information on the probable magnitude of
the vibration corresponding to the equipment or
the types of equipment used in the particular
conditions of use, including such information
provided by the manufacturer of the equipment.
That operation shall be distinguished from
measurement, which requires the use of specific
apparatus and appropriate methodology.
28
WBV 2002/44/EC
Article 3 Exposure limit values and action
values 2. For whole-body vibration (a) the
daily exposure limit value standardised to an
eight-hour reference period shall be 1,15 m/s2
or, at the choice of the Member State concerned,
a vibration dose value of 21 m/ s1,75
29
WBV 2002/44/EC
Article 3 Exposure limit values and action
values 2. For whole-body vibration . . . (b)
the daily exposure action value standardised to
an eighthour reference period shall be 0,5 m/s2
or, at the choice of the Member State concerned,
a vibration dose value of 9,1 m/s1,75.

machinery to the hand-arm system or to the whole
body .. the highest root mean square value
of weighted acceleration to which the whole

Summary
2002/44/EC is directed to EMPLOYERS 2002/44/EC de
scribes minimum requirements 2002/44/EC Maximum
daily (8 h) exposure limit value for WBV shall
be 1,15 m/s2 Maximum daily exposure action
value for WBV shall be 0,5 m/s2 BUT CAN BE
LOWER DECISION BY MEMBER STATE
82
Summary
Employers will ask the manufacturer fora
guarantee.A guarantee, that the machine
fullfill the requirements of the directive
2002/44/EC.This is nearly impossible
83
Summary
We need a simple tool for the calculation of
the daily exposure.(for the employers)
84
Summary
The DTR 25398 is an example for a simple
tool. And can be the basic for additional
machines and applications
85
Summary
We need more datas from all around the world,
to reflect real requirements.Theoretical and
scientific values are not helpful for
manufacturer and employers

Summary DT 25398
Conclusion Since the daily total vibration
exposure points are between 100 and 529, the
vibration exposure action value is exceeded, but
not the exposure limit value. Implement a
suitable programme of control measures and health
surveillance if the exposure remains above the
exposure action value.
