(b) A construction worker uses three types of hand-held vibratory tools in a working day (8 hours). One has a vibration magnitude of 7.2ms2 and it is used for 80 minutes. The second one has a vibration magnitude of 16.8ms2 and it is used for 20 minutes. The last one has a vibration magnitude of 13.8ms2. According to the guidance of the UK's Health and Safety Executive on handarm vibration exposure, what is the maximum allowable time (in minutes) of using the third one if the daily exposure limit value is not exceeded? Given:
A(8)=2.5n1002 and n=(ahv2.5)2t8100
where A(8)= daily ibration exposure (ms2),n= number of exposure points, ahv= vibration magnitude (ms2) and t= daily exposure time (hour).
( b ) A construction worker uses three types of
