3030 – 12 – Enduring Repetition, Force and Vibration

1m

While performing the same task over and over isn’t dangerous inherently, but if you perform the same task without resting you can become harmed. The muscles can contract and can pull or become sore. It is especially at risk if you have to use too much force or at an awkward position.

Some different factors at hand can be the wrong tool for the job, using too large or small a tool or over-gripping the tool. Pick tools that have a comfortable grip and keep the wrist in a neutral position. Notify your supervisor if you need help from keeping strained. You always need to rest your muscles periodically.
