| Abstract |
Working with organizations to undertake health surveillance for hand-arm vibration syndrome is often a very challenging task for occupational health practitioners. This article proposes a five-step systematic approach: questionnaire survey of employees; appointment of a responsible person; review of the completed questionnaires; targeted assessment for employees declaring health effects; defining guidelines for objective testing. |
