Determination of hand-transmitted vibration risk (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maeda, S., Taylor, M., Anderson, L. C., & McLaughlin, J. (2019, April). Determination of hand-transmitted vibration risk. Poster presented at Occupational Hygiene 2019, Brighton, United Kingdom

Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a debilitating industrial disease induced by exposure to vibrating machinery. As an irreversible condition, monitoring, controlling and reducing exposure are crucial to minimise the risk of developing the disease...

Wearable technology and workplace epidemiology: a practical example from the field of hand-arm vibration (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, M. (2019, April). Wearable technology and workplace epidemiology: a practical example from the field of hand-arm vibration. Poster presented at The 12th UK/Ireland 1-day Meeting on Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology, Surgeons' Hall Museums, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

This work investigates the application of wearable technology for the collection of exposure data relevant to the study of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome. Wearable technology designed for mass adoption coupled with the IoT has yielded a unique data set...
