T75.2: Effects of vibration

Vibrations, for example from certain jobs or activities, affect the human body. Vibrations affect the body, for example, if you use a drilling machine, a pneumatic hammer or other machinery. Health damage can result from the repeated or prolonged effect of vibrations. Joints and bones may get damaged or worn, for example. The blood circulation in the hands can also be temporarily disrupted. Then some parts of the hands may keep turning pale and cold.
