About this title

Synopsis

According to estimates, hand-arm vibration jeopardizes the health and future employability of at least two million workers in the USA alone. A broad-based approach to the problem is needed because an accurate evaluation of the health effects of hand-arm vibration involves engineering, medicine, physiology, epidemiology, mathematics and statistics.
