The Combined Impact of Hand-Arm Vibration and Noise Exposure on Hearing Sensitivity of Agricultural/Forestry Workers—A Systematic Literature Review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health"
DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20054276
Abstract: Hand-arm vibration (HAV), which potentially causes vibration white finger (VWF), and occupational noise are serious issues in the agricultural and forestry industries. Generally, agricultural workers operate as single-family/small businesses and thus are exempted from Occupational… read more here.
