A vibration dosimeter () for determining the vibrational loading of people includes a determination device () for determining the operating period duration, a calculation device () for calculating the permitted work time as a function of a tool-specific characteristic vibration value, a comparison device () for comparing the effective operating period duration with the permitted work time, and an interface () for reading in the characteristic vibration value from the tool ().

Vibration dosimeter for determining vibrational loading

The invention relates to a vibration dosimeter () and a method for determining the daily vibrational loading of persons who are exposed to mechanical oscillations at their place of work due to the operation of a work means and in particular of a manually operated electronic tool (). What is provided is that the dosimeter () comprises a determination device () for determining the effective daily operating duration of the work means (), a computer device () for calculating a daily work time until a specified trigger value or exposition limit value of the vibrational loading is reached from a work-means-typical vibration value and the trigger value or exposition limit value, and a comparison device () for comparing the determined effective daily operating duration of the work means with the calculated daily work time until the specified trigger value is reached.
