Advisory Note on Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) 对手臂振动综合征注意事项 I. Introduction （介绍） 2010 Health Safety Guidelines highlight the need to consider bio-mechanical risk factors in the workplace, including vibration. This Advisory Note provides more specific guidance on the steps to be taken to identify vibration hazards, measure vibration, apply control measures, notify workers of any hazard and conduct medical surveillance to safeguard workers against the harmful effects of hand-arm vibration. 2010的健康及安全指南强调需要在工作中考虑生物机械的危险因素，包括振动。本注意事项，提供了更具体的指导，可采取的步骤来确定测量振动，振动的危害，采取控制措施，通知任何危险的工人和进行医学监控保护工人免受手臂振动危害。 Hand-arm vibration is vibration transmitted to the arms through the hands. It can damage both the small blood vessels and small nerves of the fingers, resulting in two specific injuries: vibration- induced white finger and vibratory neuropathy. Together, these injuries are known as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) and result in numbness, loss of finger coordination and dexterity, clumsiness and an inability to perform fine motor tasks. HAVS is a chronic progressive disorder with a latency period that may range from a few months to several years. In its worst form, it can lead to long term disability. The most common sources of vibration in the workplace tend to be due to the use of hand-held or hand operated tools, including grinders and drills. In footwear factories, for example, special attention should be given to midsole and upper roughing and high frequency bonding, while for golf club factories, the risk will be from metal polishing and grinding processes, where stationary grinders are used. Grinders of various types may also be in use when making metal parts for retail fixtures and fittings, or by maintenance workers employed on site. 手臂振动是通过手传递到手臂振动。这可能会损坏小血管和小神经的手指，在两个特定的伤害：振动性白指和振动性神经病。在一起，这些损伤被称为手臂振动综合征（HAVS），导致麻木，手指的协调能力和灵巧的损失，动作笨拙，无法进行精细动作的任务。有是一种慢性进行性疾病的潜伏期范围可以从几个月到几年。在其最严重的形式，它可以导致长期残疾。 在工作场所的振??最常见的来源往往是由于手持式或使用手工操作工具，包括打磨和演习。在制鞋厂，例如，应特别注意的中底和鞋面的
