Posted By rsellars I work in a coldstore where the floors are deteriorating allowing the rails for the mobile racking to move. When a reachtruck travels over some of these rails the drivers get a severe jolt which results in drivers complaining of bad backs. Have I read the wbv regs correctly that if wbv is suspected the company must investigate and if this is the case where do you get the measuring equipment from?

Posted By Bob Youel measuring WBV is very complicated, costly and almost impossible in an average workplace even with specialist equip & competent people in place [I have extensive experience re vibration measurement - & no; I am not volunteering] why don't you get * the floor areas repaired [as having a suitable and sufficient floor is common sense and also a requirement of the law] * get staff to slow down

Posted By rsellars thanks for the replies were in the east midlands so i think the firm in aberdeen are out. In response to bob the drivers do drive to the conditions as for getting the floor repaired!!! the company i work for is a dinasour everything has to go through the board for approval it takes litterally years.
