Workshop—Introduction †
- Do we accept that the health effects due to exposure to shocks are the same as those from continuous vibration?
- Is ISO 5349-1 and the A(8) metric suitable for predicting the risks of health effects from HTS?
- Do we need new metrics specifically for HTS?
- Do we need new frequency weightings?
- What should be the upper frequency limit for measurement?

- Q3
- What are the measurement challenges for that upper frequency?
- Q4
- Do we need a time-domain metric? If so, what metric?
