• Description:
  The vibrations of handheld workpieces such as golf club heads during their grinding process can be effectively transmitted to the hands, especially the fingers. As a result, vibration-induced white finger (VWF) has been observed among some workers performing the grinding/polishing tasks of the handheld workpieces. To control this occupational disease, the objectives of this study are to identify the major vibration sources for the handheld workpieces, to understand the basic characteristics of the vibration, and to propose potential approaches for reducing the vibration exposure.
