Abstract
This paper provides an assessment on to what level of whole-body vibration (WBV) jeepney drivers are exposed to, specifically those perceived as new type of jeepneys, or Sarao jeepneys. The assessment was solely based on the exposure limits set by the European Union, since no standards have been established yet in the Philippines. It has also discussed the possible health risks of overexposure to WBV, and reduced this kind of vibration through practical vibration dampeners such as styrofoam, pillow, and rags. It has been found that rags incur a 7% reduction in WBV with a 70% accuracy in reducing the vibration.
