Atlas Copco FlexiROC T30 R Safety

FlexiROC T30 R 7 Noise and Vibration
28 No: 3133793291.1.3133851403 en-US
n Removing drill rod or drill bit during percussive drilling
n Working underground
n Incorrectly using the machine
n Working with increased load when compared to specified values
n Using compressed air
7.4 Effects of Noise
Exposure to noise can result in adverse health effects, such as:
n Permanent hearing loss
n Tinnitus
n Fatigue and stress
n Balance issues
n Poor attention
n Impaired ability to communicate
n Impaired ability to perceive acoustic signals and warning signals
7.5 Noise Reduction Factors
To reduce risk from exposure to noise:
n Use approved hearing protection or plugs. Refer to guide, EN 458.
n Carry out regular maintenance on hearing protection. For example, replace hearing
protection seals every six months.
n Use helmet goggles if using hearing protection or use ear plugs when using goggles or
spectacles. Goggles and spectacles reduce the effect of the hearing protection.
n Make sure the ear plugs fit correctly. The incorrect size of ear plugs reduces the damp-
ing effect.
n Perform regular maintenance of door and cab seals, insulation, and mufflers.
n Work with the cab door and windows closed.
7.6 Noise Combined with Other Risk Factors
Noise, in combination with other risk factors, can cause serious health issues.
n Vibration and noise in combination can cause higher health risks.
n People with sensitive conditions (for example, pregnancy) and people already with im-
paired hearing may need protection against noise even at lower levels.
n Exposure to ototoxic substances and noise may increase the risk of hearing damage
(even under 80 dB). For example, styrene, toluene and xylene, and certain solvent
mixtures are ototoxic. Certain fuels such as kerosene and certain metals such as mer-
cury and lead have also been proven to be potentially ototoxic.
7.7 Factors Affecting Whole Body Vibration
The following factors may affect whole body vibration:
n Tramming for longer duration.
n Speed, duty cycle, and ground conditions while operating from a cab or canopy. These
factors are primarily influenced by the operator who controls for example, speed, work-
ing cycle, and route options.
