For assessing the exposure to vibration to which users of handheld machinery are subjected, companies use emission measurements taken in situ under real use conditions, in compliance with Directive 2002/44/EC. Since such measurements are time-consuming…

The aim of this work is to develop a new method for testing the immunity of active implantable medical devices to low frequency industrial magnetic fields (between 50 Hz and 100 kHz) up to the high occupational exposure limits. It is based on an experimental…

Active Implantable Medical Devices (AIMD) are nowadays a part of everyday life, with for example more than one million pacemakers (PMs) implanted each year worldwide. Like every electronic devices they are sensitive to electromagnetic interferences…

Safety nets are fitted when falls from height cannot be avoided by other collective protection means. Performance of the nets is assessed in compliance with Standard EN 1263-1. That standard specifies lengthy and tedious natural or artificial…

Electromagnetic forming is an industrial process using pulsed magnetic field for shaping conductive material. With reference to the European Directive 2013/35/UE, evaluating the electromagnetic safety of workers seems overriding. Experiments…

In the 90’s, Seidel et al. have applied a biomechanical approach to develop a new method to assess health effects caused by WBV on seated drivers. Their works were based on the assumption that the intervertebral pressure may cause damage to the lumbar…

Each day, several million light utility vehicles: vans, light vans or delivery vans, are used on the roads by companies to transport the materials and goods required for their activity. During a frontal road collision, an unlashed load in the rear…
