If the assessment concludes that vibration level exposure is too high, one or more of the
following actions may be necessary:
1. Train operators:
• Perform operations (accelerating, steering, braking, etc.) in a smooth manner.
• Adjust the controls, mirrors and seat suspension for comfortable operation. Do not
make adjustments when the machine is in use.
• Travel across the smoothest parts of the worksite and avoid ruts and potholes.
2. Choose proper equipment for the job:
• Use machines with the proper power and capacity.
• Select machines with good suspension seats.
• Look for controls that are easy to use.
• Ensure good visibility from the operator’s position.
3. Maintain the worksite:
• Smooth ruts and fill potholes in traffic areas whenever possible.
• Clean up debris frequently.
• Vary traffic patterns to avoid exposure to rough terrain.
4. Maintain equipment. Check that seat suspension and all controls work smoothly and
properly.
