Epidemiological Evidence for New Frequency Weightings of Hand-Transmitted Vibration
This paper provides an overview of the exposure-response relationship for the vascular component of the hand-arm vibration syndrome, called vibration-induced white finger (VWF). Over the past two decades, several epidemiological studies have shown a poor agreement between the risk for VWF observed in various occupational groups and that predicted by ...

FOUNDATIONS OF HAND-TRANSMITTED VIBRATION STANDARDS
Standards for hand-transmitted vibration predict dependent variables (e.g. finger blanching) from measurements of a few independent variables (e.g. vibration magnitude, vibration frequency, exposure duration).
