Hand-arm vibration exposure and the development of vibration syndrome.
To evaluate the circulatory disturbances, sensory disturbances and damage to muscles and joints by chain saw vibration exposure, the process of the deterioration of the symptoms with chain saw operating time was studied. Subjects were classified into eight groups according to TOT (Total Operating Time): Group 0, 46 controls; Group A, 39 operators (< 2,000 hours); Group B, 53 operators (2,000-4,...
متن کاملQuantitatively measured tremor in hand-arm vibration-exposed workers
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible increase in hand tremor in relation to hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure in a cohort of exposed and unexposed workers. METHODS Participants were 178 male workers with or without exposure to HAV. The study is cross-sectional regarding the outcome of tremor and has a longitudinal design with respect to exposure. The dose of...
متن کاملHand arm vibration syndrome among quarry workers in Vietnam.
Few studies have focused on the health effects of vibrating tools on workers in the tropical area. Work conditions and health effects related to rock drill operation were studied in 102 quarry workers, including 73 rock drill operators in Vietnam. We aimed to clarify (1) risk of vibration exposure, (2) occurrence of vibration-induced white finger (VWF), and (3) characteristics of hand-arm vibra...
متن کاملEpidemiological survey of shipyard workers exposed to hand-arm vibration.
All 169 caulkers employed at a ship yard were examined to determine the prevalence of vibration syndrome due to pneumatic portable tools (chipping hammer and grinders). Vibration measurements and medical investigations were performed in the field between September 1977 and July 1978. Vibration spectra recorded on pneumatic tools were compared to ISO Draft Proposal No. 5369. The chipping hammer ...
متن کاملExposure assessment in health assessments for hand-arm vibration syndrome.
BACKGROUND Assessing past cumulative vibration exposure is part of assessing the risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) in workers exposed to hand-arm vibration and invariably forms part of a medical assessment of such workers. AIMS To investigate the strength of relationships between the presence and severity of HAVS and different cumulative exposure metrics obtained from a self-reportin...
