HAZARD: GENERAL SAFETY
CAUSE:
Improper operation or maintenance
of equipment.
SAFEGUARDS:
Operators should be
given adequate training in the safe use and
maintenance of the equipment (in accordance
with the requirements of NFPA-33, Chapter
15). Users must comply with all local and
national codes of practice and insurance
company requirements governing ventilation,
fire precautions, operation, maintenance, and
housekeeping. These are OSHA Sections
1910.94 and 1910.107 and NFPA-33.
HAZARD: CUMULATIVE TRAUMA
DISORDERS ("CTD'S")
CTD's, or musculoskeletal disorders,
involve damage to the hands, wrists,
elbows, shoulders, neck, and back. Carpal
tunnel syndrome and tendonitis (such as
tennis elbow or rotator cuff syndrome) are
examples of CTD's.
CAUSE:
Use of hand tools may cause
cumulative trauma disorders ("CTD's").
CTD's, when using hand tools, tend to
affect the upper extremities. Factors which
may increase the risk of developing a CTD
include:
1. High frequency of the activity.
2. Excessive force, such as gripping, pinching,
or pressing with the hands and fingers.
3. Extreme or awkward finger, wrist, or arm
positions.
4. Excessive duration of the activity.
5. Tool vibration.
6. Repeated pressure on a body part.
7. Working in cold temperatures.
CTD's can also be caused by such activities
as sewing, golf, tennis, and bowling, to name
a few.
SAFEGUARDS:
Pain, tingling, or numbness
in the shoulder, forearm, wrist, hands, or
fingers, especially during the night, may be
early symptoms of a CTD. Do not ignore them.
Should you experience any such symptoms,
see a physician immediately. Other early
symptoms may include vague discomfort
in the hand, loss of manual dexterity, and
nonspecific pain in the arm. Ignoring early
symptoms and continued repetitive use of
the arm, wrist, and hand can lead to serious
disability. Risk is reduced by avoiding or
lessening factors 1-7.
