The outline of a study in occupational health services (OHS) on the prevention and control of effects of whole-body vibration is described and preliminary results are presented here. The study comprises an inventory of current activities of occupational health services in vibration-related issues, the development of a specific OHS-programme and evaluation of this programme, mainly on process level. Results of the inventory, a questionnaire survey in occupational health services (n = 112, response 67%), show that the impact of OHS in prevention and control of adverse health effects is small. The development and evaluation of a specific OHS-programme may be useful in setting up a preventive approach. Some methodologic problems are discussed also.
本文描述了一项关于职业健康服务（OHS）中全身振动影响预防与控制的研究概况，并展示了初步结果。该研究包括对职业健康服务当前在振动相关问题上的活动进行清查，制定一项特定的职业健康服务计划并对其进行评估，主要是在过程层面进行评估。清查结果是通过对职业健康服务机构进行问卷调查得出的（n = 112，回复率67%），结果显示职业健康服务在预防和控制不良健康影响方面的作用较小。制定并评估一项特定的职业健康服务计划可能有助于建立一种预防方法。文中还讨论了一些方法学问题。
