Information for employers
This document provides basic information on the European Vibration Directive (2002/44/EC) and the effects of vibration on hands and arms. It also provides useful information on its implementation by employers.
Simplified procedure for classifying risk classes
The classification of the risk classes is specific to each product and depends on the equivalent vibration value at hv eq. STIHL offers you a simplified procedure on this page with which you can assess whether special safety measures are required for the employee. This procedure assumes that the same tool is used during a working day.
