Risk of

Vibrations

1.5.1. Prolonged use of hand held (operated)

machines will cause the user to feel the effects

of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead to

white finger (Raynaud's phenomenon) or carpal

tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the ability

of the hand to feel and regulate temperature,

causing numbness and heat sensations and may

cause nerve damage and circulatory tissue death.

1.5.2. Not all factors that lead to white finger

disease are known, but cold weather, smoking and

other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood

circulation as well as large and long-lasting impact

of shocks are considered factors in the formation of

white finger.

To reduce the risk the white finger and carpal

tunnel syndrome:

1.5.2.1. Wear gloves and keep your hands warm

1.5.2.2. Take regular breaks

1.5.3. All of the above precautions may help

reduce the risk of white finger disease but not rule

out carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular

users are therefore recommended to observe the

condition of your hands and fingers. Seek medical

attention immediately if any of the above

symptoms should occur.
