Zero Vibration Injuries Go Global

Important results from the project

The overall aim is to reduce vibration damage globally by enabling and motivating machine manufacturers to introduce technical solutions for low vibration machines and to enable machine users to choose them. The project objective was to develop a strategy for internationalizing the results from the project Zero Vibration Injuries UDI-stage 3. This includes both low vibration machines, measurement systems and the culture change. The result of the above is compiled in and the basis for a proposal to Go Global - Implementering.

Expected long term effects

The main result of the project is a proposal to Go Global- Implementering, where we have developed a strategy to disseminate project results and impact logic globally from the Noll Vibrationsskador project within UDI step 3. We would like to emphasize in particular that we have long-standing discussions on the commercialization of vibration-suppression techniques developed in the project with a number of actors. The work on changing the standard for vibration risk assessment so that it also takes into account to high frequency vibrations goes beyond expectation.

Approach and implementation

The project was carried out through direct contacts with companies and organizations in order to determine the interest in the project results and to find commercial openings. Valuable contacts and information have resulted from attending conferences and presenting the project for companies and organizations. These have resulted in us sending information on project results and prototypes to several countries in Europe. We have also initiated cooperation with the research organizations in the working environment INRS in France and DGUV in Germany.
