Whole body vibration on offshore structures: an evaluation of existing guidelines for assessing low-frequency motions.

Abstract:
An extensive literature research has been conducted to create an insight
into the existing norms and standards regulating the assessment of human
exposure to motions in offshore environments. A summary of current
threshold values and their specific fields of application is included. The
presented literature is analysed with respect to their applicability for
assessing low frequency oscillatory motions of floating offshore wind
turbines to which technicians are exposed during maintenance tasks. The
review identifies the need for a consistent assessment method in
combination with threshold values for floating structures.
