Evaluation of Anti-Vibration Gloves in a Manufacturing Setting
While anti-vibration gloves are widespread as a form of reducing employee exposure to hand-arm vibration (HAV) there is concern about how effective they actually are in a real manufacturing environment with specific tools. Currently ISO 10819 is used to certify gloves as "anti-vibration"; however, …
