Abstract
The case histories of ten workers with Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) indicate that their predominant vibration exposure was to impact vibration. This association, recognized previously in pedestal grinders and in multiple hand tool users, should now be identified in spot welders and press operators. This will have important implications for compensation claimants as well as prevention development.
