CROSH researchers are assessing the effects of workplace vibration and evaluating a training module designed to improve worker knowledge on symptoms and prevention strategies.

The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and severity of vibration-related symptoms in industrial workers and assess whether training can improve awareness and prevention strategies. The workers/participants may benefit from gaining insight into how vibration exposure affects their health and learning strategies to reduce vibration-related risks.

We’re looking to visit workplaces and organizations in Northeastern Ontario, in particular around:  Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie, Timmins, Kirkland Lake, Hearst, and North Bay.
