How often should whole body vibration (WBV) assessments be carried out?

• Initial assessment when workers first begin working with vibrating machinery or equipment.

• Annual reassessment to ensure that vibration levels remain within safe limits.
• Post-change reassessment after significant changes in machinery, equipment, or work processes.
• Health-related reassessment if workers report symptoms or if there are concerns regarding the health effects of WBV.
• Ongoing monitoring if required by local regulations or to maintain workplace safety standards.
