Combinations of exposure to vibration, noise and ergonomic stressors in the swedish work force affect musculoskeletal health outcomes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The combinations of exposure to vibration, noise, and ergonomic stressors in the Swedish workforce, and the effect on self-reported health outcomes such as musculoskeletal symptoms and hearing problems, were studied. The definition of exposure to whole body vibration (WBV), hand transmitted vibration (HAV), and noise, were defined. Descriptive statistics were constructed for symptoms, vibration exposure, noise exposure, other risk factors, and age stratified for gender. In the sample of 12,546 persons representing the Swedish workforce, exposure to noise and ergonomic stressors such as lifting and bending is found to be frequent among both men and women, whereas vibration exposure, both HAV and WBV, is frequent among men but less than one percent among women. In a multivariate analysis, hand-arm vibration has a significant prevalence ratio of 1.5 for hand pain, even when controlling for whole body vibration, noise, frequent bending, lifting and twisted posture.

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.
