Vibration and impact are some of the leading causes of CTD’s. There are four types of vibration associated with power tools.
Segmental vibration or vibration transmitted through the hands, harmonic or oscillatory vibration, impact vibration, and percussion
vibration. All of these can lead to vascular damage, neurological effects, and musculoskeletal effects. Additionally, using hammers
and other impact tools can lead to the same kind of problems. Safety consultants and hand therapists agree, anti-vibration gloves
should be worn to help reduce the effects of vibration and impact while working with power pneumatic tools. |
