Health effects associated with occupational exposure to hand-arm or whole body vibration.
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B: Critical Reviews ( IF 7.2 ) Pub Date : 2018-12-26 , DOI: 10.1080/10937404.2018.1557576

Workers in a number of different occupational sectors are exposed to workplace vibration on a daily basis. This exposure may arise through the use of powered-hand tools or hand-transmitted vibration (HTV). Workers might also be exposed to whole body vibration (WBV) by driving delivery vehicles, earth moving equipment, or through use of tools that generate vibration at low dominant frequencies and high amplitudes, such as jackhammers. Occupational exposure to vibration has been associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal pain in the back, neck, hands, shoulders, and hips. Occupational exposure may also contribute to the development of peripheral and cardiovascular disorders and gastrointestinal problems. In addition, there are more recent data suggesting that occupational exposure to vibration may enhance the risk of developing certain cancers. The aim of this review is to provide an assessment of the occupations where exposure to vibration is most prevalent, and a description of the adverse health effects associated with occupational exposure to vibration. This review will examine (1) various experimental methods used to measure and describe the characteristics of vibration generated by various tools and vehicles, (2) the etiology of vibration-induced disorders, and (3) how these data were employed to assess and improve intervention strategies and equipment that reduces the transmission of vibration to the body. Finally, there is a discussion of the research gaps that need to be investigated to further reduction in the incidence of vibration-induced illnesses and injuries.

与职业接触手或全身振动有关的健康影响。

许多不同职业的工人每天都受到工作场所振动的影响。这种暴露可能是通过使用电动工具或手传递的振动(HTV)引起的。驾驶送货车,运土设备或使用诸如低频电锤等在低主频和高振幅下会产生振动的工具,也可能使工人遭受全身振动(WBV)。职业暴露于振动与背部,颈部,手,肩膀和臀部的肌肉骨骼疼痛风险增加有关。职业接触也可能导致周围和心血管疾病以及胃肠道疾病的发展。此外,最近的数据表明,职业性接触振动可能会增加罹患某些癌症的风险。这篇综述的目的是提供对振动暴露最普遍的职业的评估,并描述与振动职业暴露有关的不利健康影响。这篇综述将研究(1)用于测量和描述各种工具和车辆产生的振动特征的各种实验方法,(2)振动引起的疾病的病因,以及(3)如何利用这些数据来评估和改善减少振动传递到身体的干预策略和设备。最后,
