The long term effects of HAVS isn’t a good situation for anyone. Individuals that are suffering can see a loss in their nerves and impair their fine motor skills meaning that routine daily tasks can’t be done. Not only this but Hand Arm Vibration can lead to constant chronic pain in the hands, wrists and arms. This loss of control may mean that the individual never works again and that is why Hand Arm Vibration training is important.
It is important to recognise the early warning signs of HAVS and take steps to prevent further exposure to hand-arm vibrations. Proper training, the use of vibration-dampening tools, and implementing control measures to minimize vibration exposure are crucial in reducing the risk of developing HAVS.
