Epidemiological Evidence for New Frequency Weightings of Hand-Transmitted Vibration

open access: yesIndustrial Health, 2012
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 ...

An Investigation of the Effects of Drill Operator Posture on Vibration Exposure and Temporary Threshold Shift of Vibrotactile Perception Threshold

open access: yesVibration, 2021
The present study involved performing an experiment to clarify whether vibration measurement values on the tool handle, in accordance with ISO 5349-1, can assess risk from workplace environments.

FOUNDATIONS OF HAND-TRANSMITTED VIBRATION STANDARDS

open access: yesFOUNDATIONS 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).
