Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome
Awareness of hand-arm vibration syndrome, identifying hazards and reducing risk levels will help prevent HAVS issues occurring in the workplace. The safety program covers Tools most likely to pose a risk, Vibration Regulations and Control Measures.
The symptoms and effects of HAVS most commonly result in:
- Loss of strength to the hands,
- Tingling, numbness and pain to the hands, and
- Fingers going white and then becoming red and painful, after the task has been completed.
Symptoms usually last for a short time, however, with continued exposure to vibration the symptoms may have longer lasting effects, and with time, usually a few years, could become permanent, causing ongoing pain.
