TASK 1: PART 3
3.1 VIBRATION:
 Exposure Action Value (EAV): If daily vibration exposure is over 2.5 m/s2 actions
should be taken to reduce exposure below this level.
 Exposure Limit Value: Daily vibration exposure should be less than 5 m/s2 (NSQ
Government, 2024).
3.2 SPEED MEASUREMENTS:
 Speedometers (m/s) are used to determine the risk of collision or impact on-site.
 Air speed measurements are used as a safety feature in case of toxic gas releases.
3.3 OSHA AND ANSI SAFETY COLORS:
 Orange: Be aware of machinery or equipment that can cut, crush, shock or cause
injury.
 Yellow: Indicates caution and is used for physical hazards, including striking,
stumbling, falling, tripping and caught in between.
