Q

vibration syndrome causes what effects

A
  • arthritis
  • blanching of fingers due to lack of circulation
  • raynauds syndrome
  • tingling and numbness
  • reduced grip strength and dexterity
17
Q

Prevention of vibration syndrome

A
  • reduce frequency and intensity of exposure (tool type, plastic will absorb, weight, and how often it has maintenance)
  • early identification of sings and symptoms
  • anti-vibration clothing: gloves and pads, anti vibration equipment, grips, mats, cushions
18
Q

Other strategies for prevention of vibration syndrome

A
  • modify process: use clamps, robots, automation , plastic vs metal
  • modify work: limit hours or days/week
  • rotate tasks and tools
