Vibration White Finger Claims

Vibration White Finger (VWF) is an industrial injury caused through the excessive use of vibrating tools or equipment.

Symptoms of Vibration White Finger are not only confined to the fingers. The hand and arm can also be affected and this is known as Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS)

Prolonged use of vibrating tools or machinery such as grinders, jackhammers, drills or concrete breakers are the cause of Vibration White Finger.

Although using this equipment may be unavoidable in the construction sector measures can be taken to ensure the risk of VWF or HAVS is reduced.

Vibration White Finger affects the blood vessels and nerves in the fingers and can cause the following symptoms;

 a cold feeling in the fingertips

 whiteness in finger joints

 loss of feeling or tingling

 reduced physical agility.

For years employers have been made aware of the risks of vibration exposure but if employers have failed to take reasonable measures and exposure has led to symptoms of Vibration White Finger you should consider making a claim for compensation.
