    Hand-arm vibration can be transmitted into workers' hands and arms from using power tools and equipment, and regular prolonged exposure can cause hand-arm vibration syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome. To reduce risks, workers should use low vibration tools for each job, wear anti-vibration gloves, check tools for proper maintenance before use, keep cutting tools sharp, and limit continuous exposure time by alternating tasks. The exposure limit value is 5 m/s^2 A(8) and exposure action value is 2.5 m/s^2 A(8).

    Project Vibration
    Hand-arm vibration is vibration transmitted into workers’ hands and arms. This can come from use
    of hand-held power tools and hand-guided equipment. Regular and frequent exposure to hand-arm
    vibration can cause hand-arm vibration syndrome(HAVS) and carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS).
    HOW CAN I HELP REDUCE THE RISKS?
    • Use suitable low vibration tools
    • Use the right tool for each job
    • Wear anti-vibration gloves
    • Check tools before using them to make sure they have been properly maintained
    and repaired to avoid increased vibration caused by faults or general wear
    • Make sure cutting tools are kept sharp so that they remain efficient
    • Reduce the amount of time you use a tool in one go, by doing other jobs in
    between
