Miners observe exposure levels of whole-body vibrations in the mining phone
Published: April 28, 2023
Now machine operators at Boliden’s Kankberg mine, wearing the Zentnl shirt and using the Zentnl mobile app, can now see their own exposure statistics, including whole-body vibrations, after each shift.
This is a significant improvement for the miners working as machine operators with loaders and transports in the mining environment. Through the Zentnl app, they can now monitor their exposure to whole-body vibrations and increase their knowledge about when and why exposure levels are reached.
Emil Långström, the main safety representative at Kankberg mine, stated in an article on arbetsmiljöforskning.se, “Everyone wants a healthy and intact body. When a person can see the trend, they can determine if it’s getting better or worse. We can educate and train our staff based on that.”
