Abstract

The paper analyzes the differences between domestic and European methodology of hygienic standardization of the local impulse vibration. With the assistance of the vibrometer Octava-101-U there were studied hygienic parameters of pulsed local vibrations in mechanical workshops of the State Enterprise "Antonov" and the State Enterprise "Plant 410 civil aviation" according to the procedure set out in SSN 3.3.6.039-99 "State sanitary norms of general and local production vibration". Levels of pulsed local vibration in the workplace of fitter-assemblers and fitters do not exceed the standards of domestic hygiene standards and, at the same time, ten times higher than the exposure limits of the European system of standards “Health and Sufety Executive” (HSE). Discrepancies between national and European system of regulation and assessment of the harmful effects of local vibration can explain the development of early clinical syndromes in workers of vibration-dangerous enterprises, this makes to pical bringing of Ukrainian hygienic standards to European standards.
