1. A portable physical agents directive (PAD) dosimeter system, comprising:
- a housing configured to be selectively mounted on a part of a machine;
at least one accelerometer mounted inside the housing to generate electrical signals based on vibrations experienced by the housing, which correspond to a vibration exposure of an operator of the machine; and
a controller contained in the housing and configured to process the electrical signals and to determine whether the vibration exposure is above a predetermined threshold.
