Frequently using vibrating tools and equipment for extended periods is a common cause of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS).

This can result from the use of tools such as:

  • Hand drills
  • Concrete breakers
  • Jackhammers
  • Chainsaws and trimmers
  • Pneumatic drills
  • Needle guns
  • Hammers
  • Powered mowers
