Vibration:

The exposure of workers to hand-arm vibration can be reduced in a number of ways. Some approaches
are following:

Select tools with the lowest level of vibration.

1 Substantial reductions in levels of vibration can be achieved by simply purchasing tools with Iow
vibration levels. Electric motors and rotary gasoline engines create less vibration than reciprocating
gasoline engines.

2 Properly maintain tools and keep cutting tools sharpened.

3 Use vibration-reduction (damping) gloves.

4 Minimize grip force needed to hold and control the tool.

S Alternate work tasks that do not require use of vibrating tools with those that do.

6 Limit daily use of vibrating tools.

7 Provide long rest breaks while using vibrating tools.

8 Limit the number of days per week that vibrating tools are used by a worker.

Gloves:

Gloves are often used in conjunction with hand tools for protection against abrasions, cuts, punctures,
and temperature extremes.

Gloves come in an amazing number of varieties. In general, however, they can be distinguished in terms
of the material used for construction (e.g., cotton, leather, vinyl, neoprene. asbestos, and even metal),
the cut , the design of the thumb and the type of wristband
