Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Use of hand tools may cause
cumulative trauma disorders
(CTD's). CTD's or musculoskel-
etal disorders, involve damage to
the hands, wrists, elbows, shoul-
ders, neck and back. Carpal
tunnel syndrome and tendinitis
(such as tennis elbow or rotator
cuff syndrome) are examples of
CTD's.
CTD's when using hand tools,
tend to affect the upper extremi-
ties. Factors which may in-
crease the risk of developing a
CTD include:
1. High frequency of the activity.
2. Excessive force, such as
gripping, pinching or pressing
with the hands and fingers.
3. Extreme or awkward finger,
wrist or arm positions.
4. Excessive duration of the
activity.
5. Tool vibration.
6. Repeated pressure on a
body part.
7. Working in cold temperatures.
Risk is reduced by avoiding or lessening the listed
hazards.
CTD's can also be caused by such activities as
sewing, golf, tennis and bowling, to name a few.
Pain, tingling, or numbness in the shoulder, fore-
arm, wrists, hands, or fingers, especially during the
night, may be early symptoms of a CTD. Do not
ignore them. Should you experience any such
symptoms, see a physician immediately. Other
early symptoms may include vague discomfort in
the hand, loss of manual dexterity, and nonspecific
pain in the arm. Ignoring early symptoms and con-
tinued repetitive use of the arm, wrist and hand can
lead to serious disability.
