ABSTRACT
Mining operations in quarry involve many activities that generate vibrations. These vibrations can be transmitted to workers through their hands, feet or seats. Rocks drills, shovels and dumpers are strongly present in open pit mining. In these ones, the vibration is transmitted mainly to the worker body-Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) (Hill, Langis et al. 2001; Donoghue 2004; Gallagher & Mayton 2007; Kunimatsu & Pathak 2012).
