  Occupational Exposure to Vibration – Hazards, Evaluation and Control

  By Nishith Ghosh, Garima Singh, G.L.N. Padmavathi, Aparna Sawatkar, M.D. Patel, Alok Srivastava

  Abstract: Mechanical vibration is known to cause occupational health hazards. Exposure to vibration has potential to cause musculoskeletal disorders. Chronic exposure to hand-transmitted vibration causes occupational disease like vibration induced white finger (VWF). This article describes the harmful health effects caused due to exposure to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) and whole-body vibration (WBV) and the control measures to minimize the exposure. Specifically, focus is kept on the evaluation of vibration exposure to …
