Did you know that whole-body vibration (WBV) impacts not just the human body, but also a soldier’s ability to complete their mission effectively? WBV poses significant health, safety and operational risks if not properly managed. With its increasing prevalence across multiple sectors—including Defense, construction, and heavy vehicle operations—understanding the fundamentals of WBV and its effects is critical.

The course is anchored in ISO 2631-1:1997, ensuring alignment with industry best practices for evaluating human exposure to whole-body vibration. Through real-world case studies and interactive sessions, participants will explore various WBV measurement methods, including Running RMS, Vibration Dose Values (VDV), and 6W Average Absorbed Power. A Defense-contextualized case study allows participants to evaluate and compare WBV analysis methodologies in military environments. Each day concludes with a structured workshop, where participants analyze WBV datasets and make informed decisions on risk management and mitigation.

Designed to balance theoretical knowledge with hands-on learning, this course requires no prior technical engineering background, making it ideal for professionals seeking a high-level yet practical understanding of WBV.

Participants will receive a comprehensive set of course notes to support ongoing learning and application.
