Impact of european directive 2002/44/ec on the risk of developing hand-arm vibration syndrome in great britain
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Trends in risk from hand-arm vibration (HAV) since 1994 are reported, based on work for the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) with employees, employers, suppliers, and their vibration advisers. Work has included inspection of workplaces, investigation of reportable cases of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), and activities to raise awareness of risks from HAV and their control. A HSE sponsored study in the mid 1990s found that about 5 million people were exposed to HAV at work in Great Britain. Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) is paid for disabling cases of HAVS in specified industries and for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) associated with exposure to vibration. Re-negotiation of product specifications to avoid time-consuming re-work has reduced HAV exposure for the manufacturer and cost for the customer. Where use of powered hand-tools has continued, it has often been possible to re-equip with lower vibration models.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
