Recommendations

• Use tools with reduced vibrations.

• Wear gloves made of materials that absorb vibration and reduce its impact on the hand.

• Use grinding tools that allow the wrist to stay in a neutral position.

• Hold tools with only as much force (tightness) as needed. Unnecessarily tight grips increase the amount of vibration transferred from the tools to the hands and arms.

• When power tools must be lifted overhead, workers should lower their arms frequently for short rests.
