UK Ministry of Defence Multidisciplinary Approach to Maritime Shock Mitigation
The presentation provides an update on the UK Ministry of Defence Maritime Whole Body Vibration Project. In particular it focuses on the so called DLOD (Defence Lines of Development) approach which maps well onto tne control of vibration at work regulations.
This pan DLOD approach has helped the MoD to focus on the multiple facets of managing the issue of protecting people from harm. This includes risk assessment, health monitoring and targeted training.
The presentation also covers the wider MoD approach to health monitoring and WBV awareness training and certification required to meet all the DLODs.
