OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of four frequency weightings for hand-transmitted vibration to predict the incidence of vibration-induced white finger (VWF). METHODS: In a longitudinal study of vibration-exposed forestry and stone workers (N=206), the incidence of...
