How does prolonged exposure to whole body vibration affect workers' health?

Prolonged exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV) can have serious and long-term effects on workers' health, including:
1. Musculoskeletal disorders (msds): lower back pain, spinal degeneration and hip and leg pain
2. Fatigue and reduced endurance
3. Circulatory problems: reduced blood flow and vibration-induced white finger (vwf)
4. Balance and coordination issues
5. Impact on the nervous system: sciatica and pinched nerves
6. Psychological and cognitive effects: increased stress and anxiety, cognitive impairment
7. Decreased mobility and flexibility: stiffness and decreased range of motion and increased risk of strains and sprains
