The risk of vibration-induced injury depends on the average daily exposure. An evaluation of the risk takes into account the intensity and frequency of the vibration, the duration (years) of exposure and the part of the body which receives the vibration energy. Hand-arm vibration causes damage to hands and fingers.
Vibration is the mechanical oscillations of an object about an equilibrium point. The oscillations may be regular, such as the motion of a pendulum, or random, such as the movement of a tire on a gravel road. The study of the health effects of vibration requires measures of the overall "pressure waves" (vibration energy) generated by the vibrating equipment or structure.
