An Investigation of the Effects of Drill Operator Posture on Vibration Exposure and Temporary Threshold Shift of Vibrotactile Perception Threshold (2021)
Journal Article
Taylor, M., Maeda, S., & Miyashita, K. (2021). An Investigation of the Effects of Drill Operator Posture on Vibration Exposure and Temporary Threshold Shift of Vibrotactile Perception Threshold. Vibration, 4(2), 395-405. https://doi.org/10.3390/vibration4020025

The present study involved performing an experiment to clarify whether vibration measurement values on the tool handle, in accordance with ISO 5349-1, can assess risk from workplace environments. The study investigated the relationship between the vi...

Journal Article
Kirkwood, L., Ingram-Sills, L., Taylor, M. D., Malone, E., & Florida-James, G. (2021). Immune Response of Elite Enduro Racers to Laboratory and Racing Environments: The Influence of Training Impulse and Vibration. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 18(9), Article 4603. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph18094603

Introduction: Understanding the sport-specific immune response elicited during both training and competition is imperative to maximise athlete health and performance. Despite a growing population of professional enduro mountain bike athletes, little...

A definition and valuation of the UK offsite construction sector: ten years on (2020)
Journal Article
Taylor, M. (2022). A definition and valuation of the UK offsite construction sector: ten years on. International journal of construction management, 22(15), 2877-2885. https://doi.org/10.1080/15623599.2020.1829783

Ten years on the offsite construction (OSC) industry continues to be held high as a panacea to the inefficiencies, labour shortages and environmental impact of the construction of our built environment. Speculation concerning the gross output and the... Read More about A definition and valuation of the UK offsite construction sector: ten years on.

Elite mountain bike enduro competition: a study of rider hand-arm vibration exposure (2019)
Journal Article
Kirkwood, L. A., Taylor, M. D., Ingram, L. A., Malone, E., & Florida-James, G. D. (2019). Elite mountain bike enduro competition: a study of rider hand-arm vibration exposure. Journal of Science and Cycling, 8(1), 18-25. https://doi.org/10.28985/1906.jsc.04

Limited information is currently available regarding the hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure 5 for professional off-road cyclists. Previous reports have suggested that commuting and 6 recreational cyclists are at risk of exceeding exposure limit values...

Cycling pavement assessment using hand-arm vibration exposure (2019)
Journal Article
Taylor, M., Edgar, A., & Raine, M. (2019). Cycling pavement assessment using hand-arm vibration exposure. Infrastructure Asset Management, 6(2), 86-101. https://doi.org/10.1680/jinam.17.00014

A defective pavement surface discourages cyclists from selecting certain routes and vibration exposure is a noticeable consequence of reduced path surface quality. Current asset management practice includes walk-over surveys and cyclists reporting d... Read More about Cycling pavement assessment using hand-arm vibration exposure.

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...

Method: To obtain the temporary threshold shift (TTS) in the fingertip vibrotactile perception... Read More about Determination of hand-transmitted vibration risk on the human.

A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure. (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, M., Oliver, C., & Bayram, J. (2018, September). A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure. Presented at 53rd United Kingdom Conference on Human Responses to Vibration, Ascot, UK

Cycling infrastructure and, in particular, a well maintained pavement surface contributes to a safe and comfortable ride. However, defective pavement surfaces and insufficient maintenance can expose cyclists to excessive hand-arm vibration. Limited... Read More about A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure..
