Abstract On daily activity a human operator is exposed to vibration in working environment. So, the human body will react in different way. The problem is how much from the initial signal will be sent to the other parts of the body and how much that motion will be damped along the studied parts. The vibrations in horizontal plane are some unexpected, so the human operator will not take any position to prevent them. In this condition the horizontal vibrations will have the higher effect possible. In this paper, the shoulder, neck and the head are modeled together like a mechanical system with four degree of freedom. (© 2011 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
