    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Guidance on general methods for measuring and reporting hand-transmitted vibration exposure in three orthogonal axes over the frequency range 8 Hz to 1000 Hz. Also guidance on the evaluation of hand-transmitted vibration specified in terms of a frequency weighted vibration acceleration and daily exposure time.
