7.Prolonged use of a blower, expos- ing the operator to vibrations and cold may produce whitefinger disease (Raynaud’s phenom- enon), which symptoms are tin- gling and burning sensations fol- lowed by loss of color and numb- ness in the fingers.

a)Keep your body warm. Never use blower during rains.

b)Wear thick anti-vibration gloves.

c)Take more than 5 minutes of break in warm place frequently.

d)Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not squeeze the handles with constant, excessive pres- sures.
