Hand-arm vibration (HAV) is localized to the hands and arms, often experienced by workers who use vibrating tools such as jackhammers, chainsaws, and grinders. Prolonged exposure to HAV can lead to conditions such as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), which encompasses symptoms like vascular disorders (e.g., white finger), neurological issues (e.g., numbness), and musculoskeletal problems.
