at the work post been exceeded?  

Take periodic measurements of the noise and vibrations.


Has the value of the vibration acceleration exceeded the maximum value (MPD) during the operation of the hand tools?  

Notify the workers of the results of the measurements.


Are preliminary and periodic medical examinations being held?  

Send workers to preliminary and periodic medical examinations and make sure that they are conducted.  

Is collective and personal protective equipment used (ear protectors or anti-vibration gloves) and/or other preventive activities?
