To review the main achievement and problems of study on hand-arm vibration syndrome in China. The epidemiological and clinical study indicate that HAVS was reported from almost provinces in China, the prevalence of VWF ranges from 2.5% to 82.8% in the workers with vibrating tool use. The exposure-response relationship between prevalence of VWF and intensity and duration of exposed to hand-transmitted vibration has confirmed. Diagnostic criteria of HAVS has been established and performed by Chinese government in 1985, and it was revised by government as a national standard for occupational health in 2002. The "hygienic standard for hand-transmitted vibration in workplace" as a national standard and the "methods of measurement and assessment for hand-transmitted vibration" as a recommend standard were published by government also. The limited value of exposed to hand-arm vibration was 5.0 m/s2 that is energy equivalent frequency-weighted acceleration for a period of 4 h (ahw(4)). There are some problems in this field of China need to further study in the future. |
