Article Synopsis
- Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a common health issue for workers using vibration tools, often diagnosed too late.
- A study of 326 men aged 25-45 found that nearly 40% reported HAVS symptoms, especially those with over 10 years of experience or using tools for more than 20 hours weekly.
- Despite 75% feeling informed about risks by their employers, those who were self-reportedly well-informed experienced symptoms more frequently, highlighting the need for better awareness and education to prevent HAVS.
