SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING
!
REPETITIVE MOTION:
Repetitive work
motions and/or
vibration can injure
hands and arms.
Tasks should be performed in such a manner that the wrists are maintained in a neutral position, which
is not flexed, hyperextended or turned side to side.
Stressful postures should be avoided and can be controlled through tool selection and work location.
Any user suffering from prolonged symptoms of tingling, numbness, blanching of fingers, clumsiness
or weakened grip, nocturnal pain in the hand, or any other disorder of the shoulders, arms, wrists or
fingers is advised to consult with a physician. If it is determined that the symptoms are job related
or aggravated by movements and postures dictated by the job design, it may be necessary for the
employer to take steps to prevent further occurrences. These steps might include, but are not limited
to, repositioning the workpiece or redesigning the workstation, reassigning workers to other jobs,
rotating jobs, altering work pace, and/or changing the type of tool used so as to minimize stress on the
operator. Some tasks may require more than one type of tool to obtain the optimum operator/tool/task
relationship.
The following recommendations will help reduce or moderate the effects of repetitive work motions
and/or extended vibration exposure:
1. Use a minimum handgrip force consistent with proper control and safe operation.
2. Keep wrists as straight as possible.
3. Keep body and hands warm and dry.
4. Avoid anything that inhibits blood circulation (smoking tobacco, cold temperatures,
certain drugs, etc.)
5. Avoid highly repetitive movements of hands and wrists and continuous vibration
exposure.
