Section 14-1. Risk assessment of health hazards associated with noise and mechanical vibrations
a. the level, type and duration of the exposure and exposure to impulse noise such as impacts and bursts, variations in the vibration level and recurring bursts; b. effects on the health and safety of employees who are particularly exposed to risk; c. insofar as it is possible, any effects on the health and safety of employees as a result of the combined effect of noise and chemical substances and noise and vibrations at work; d. how the noise affects the possibility of recognising warning signals or other sounds that must be audible in order to reduce the risk of an accident; e. indirect effects on the employees’ health and safety due to interactions between vibrations and the work site or the work equipment; f. action values and limit values for daily exposure to vibrations; see Chapters 2 and 3 of the Regulations concerning Action and Limit Values; g. the manufacturers’ information about the noise and vibration level of the work equipment; h. whether alternative work equipment exists that generates less noise and exposure to vibrations; i. exposure to noise and whole-body vibrations other than during ordinary working hours for which the employer is responsible; j. insofar as it is possible, relevant information from medical examinations and other published information; k. increased health risk because of the combined effect of vibrations and other factors in the workplace; and l. availability of hearing protection that provides sufficient attenuation.
