4th International Conference on Whole-body Vibration Injuries from High Magnitude Devices

This multi-disciplinary conference will provide a unique opportunity to exchange information on the potential injuries associated with exposure to whole-body vibration and mechanical shocks. Several studies have been conducted to quantify vibration exposures at work and to monitor the health of exposed populations. Laboratory studies have been performed to study the transmission of vibration to the body and monitor its effects. A range of mathematical models have also been constructed to represent our understanding of the responses of the body to whole-body vibration. There are now guides, standards and proposed legislations intended to protect workers from excessive exposure to whole-body vibration and mechanical shock.
