Characterization of nail guns impact vibration

Research output: Contribution to Book/Report typesContribution to conference proceedingspeer-review

Abstract

Many workers in the construction industry can be exposed to high level of impulsive noise and vibration from the operation of nail guns. Since these tools use a single shock to hammer a nail, using RMS weighted acceleration, such as the ahw value (ISO 5049-1), might not be sufficient to assess health risks from such impulsive vibration exposure.
