title: [Vibration exposure of the hand-arm system in people working with break-rock machines].
abstract: Occupational exposure of subjects working on break-rock engins for production of porfido cube, in hand-harm system, has been here evaluated. The breaking mechanism of the rock and its biophysic effects has been studied. The results show a significant exposure of hands, mainly due to the break-rock engine called "by control falling".
