    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Gives an overview of the current state of knowledge on the relationship between vibration exposures, coupling forces and damage to the hand-arm system.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Technical Report provides an overview of the current state of knowledge on the relationship between vibration exposures, coupling forces and damage to the hand-arm system. It provides general guidance on how to build the reduction of coupling forces into workplace action plans to control vibration exposures and how the reduction of coupling forces may be incorporated into machine design. An example of an empirical relationship that accounts for the coupling force in assessments of vibration magnitudes is also provided.
