VIBRATIONS
•
A high level of vibrations and long periods of exposure are factors that contribute to the medical condition known
as "white finger" (Raynaud's phenomenon). In order to reduce the risk of white finger/toe disease, it is necessary
to take these recommendations into account:
-
Always wear gloves.
-
Always be sure your hands stay warm.
-
Take frequent breaks.
-
Always hold the machine firmly by the handles.
•
If you detect some of the symptoms of white finger/toe disease, consult your doctor immediately.
WORK AREA SAFETY
