What equipment is used for WBV testing?

The main tool used is an accelerometer, a small sensor that measures vibration. These sensors are often built into seat pads or mounted on floors, depending on how the worker is exposed. The accelerometer connects to a data logger or analyser, which records and processes the vibration levels. Some consultants also use systems that can measure multiple workers at once, giving a broader view of workplace risks. In all cases, the goal is to capture real data during actual working conditions, not just simulations.
