Risks due to repetitive movements
■
When using a rivet gun, the operator should adopt a comfortable
posture whilst ensuring a secure hold and avoiding awkward
postures or positions in which it is difficult to maintain balance. The
operator should change positions during the course of long-last-
ing tasks. This can be helpful in the prevention of discomfort and
fatigue.
■
Users of non-rotary, percussive tools may experience unpleasant
sensations in their hands, arms, shoulders, neck area or other body
parts while working with the tools.
■
If the operator notices symptoms such as persistent or recurring
illness, discomfort, throbbing, pain, tingling, burning or stiffness,
these indications should not be ignored. In this case, the operator
should consult a suitably qualified physician.
