This toolbox talk outlines the risks of whole-body and hand-arm vibration, early warning signs like tingling, and long-term impacts on blood vessels, nerves, and muscles. It identifies common sources such as rotating and percussive tools and chainsaws. Practical controls include selecting low-vibration tools, rotating tasks to limit exposure, taking breaks, and reporting symptoms to a supervisor for medical advice. The template also includes an attendee register for confirming understanding during site briefings.
