RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers,
usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet,
smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of the these symptoms. There
are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your doctor
about these symptoms. Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any
tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
