Using the Blood Coagulation Factors as a Predictor Component of the Occupational Vibration Exposure

Conclusions:The considered samples showed longer time for blood coagulation as compared to the reference time. Thus, it can be concluded that the main reason is the acceleration in three different coordinate axes of x, y, and z. Hence, the values beyond permissible standard rate of hand –arm vibration in 8 h shifts affect the blood parameters, among which the considered coagulation parameters in this study showed more tangible changes in that respect.Keywords:Blood coagulation, occupational exposure, vibration
