Working and/or living on board offshore installations imposes a series of generally low-frequency mechanical vibration, as well as single-impulse shock loads on the human body. Low-frequency vibrations are also imposed by the installation’s motions, which are produced by the various sea states. These motions can result in motion sickness, body instability, fatigue, and increased health risk aggravated by shock loads Some shock loads may be produced by wave “slamming”.
