Disease
Vibration White Finger
Otherwise known as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), is a common industrial injury caused by regular extended use of vibrating tools. If you’ve developed this condition because of work, our solicitors could help you make a HAVS compensation claim. Just about any kind of vibrating tool, no matter the size, can cause repetitive strain injuries like VWF if they’re not handled correctly. Employers have a duty of care to train their employees and provide them with protection from conditions like vibration white finger, but this is sadly not always the case. VWF affects the blood vessels, joints and nerves of the wrist and hand. The condition can be long-lasting, and even debilitating in serious cases.
