• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a
well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

operator.
PHYSICAL CONDITION
Your judgement and dexterity may be impaired
if you are ill or have taken alcohol or other
substances known to affect the way you would
normally function.
EXTENDED OPERATION/
EXTREME CONDITIONS
Vibration and Cold
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s
Phenomenon, which affects the fingers of
certain individuals may be brought about by
exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to
vibration and cold may cause tingling and
burning sensations followed by loss of color
and numbness in the fingers. The following
precautions are strongly recommended
because the minimum exposure which might
trigger the ailment is unknown.
• Keep your body warm, especially the head,
neck, feet, ankles, hands and wrists.
• Maintain good blood circulation by
performing vigorous arm exercises during
frequent work breaks and also by not
smoking.
• Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each
day with jobs where operating the engine
drill or other hand-held power equipment is
not required.
• If you experience discomfort, redness and
swelling of the fingers followed by
whitening and loss of feeling, consult your
physician before further exposing yourself
to cold and vibration.

Repetitive Stress Injuries
It is believed that overusing the muscles and
tendons of the fingers, hands, arms and
shoulders may cause soreness, swelling,
numbness, weakness and extreme pain in
those areas. Certain repetitive hand activites
may put you at a high risk for developing a
Repetitives Stress Injury (RSI). An extreme
RSI condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
(CTS), which could occur when your wrist
swells and squeezes a vital nerve that runs
through the area. Some believe that prolonged
exposure to vibration may contribute to CTS.
CTS can cause severe pain for months or even
years. To reduce the risk of RSI/CTS, do the
following:
• Avoid using your wrist in a bent,extended or
twisted position. Instead try to maintain a
straight wrist position. Also, when grasping,
use your whole hand, not just the thumb
and index finger.
• Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition
and rest your hands.
• Reduce the speed and force with which you
do the repetitive movement.
• Do exercise to strengthen the hand and
arm muscles.
• See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness
or pain in the fingers,hands, wrists or arms.
The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the
more likely permanent nerve and muscle
damage can be prevented.
