Expertise And Understanding In Vibration White Finger Compensation
Vibration white finger (VWF), also known as Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), is a condition that involves a numbing of the fingers that has been caused by damage to the nerves and blood vessels. The condition is typically caused by prolonged use of vibrating hand-held machinery.
Although Control of Vibration at Work Regulations were introduced in 2005, the number of people coming forward to claim vibration white finger compensation has increased in recent years. It is believed that around 3,000 people are affected by vibration white finger every year in the UK.
The condition often leads to a loss of dexterity and feeling in the fingers and can also lead to a loss of colour in the fingers and hands, making it difficult for sufferers to perform intricate and even simple everyday tasks.
If you have suffered from any numbness of the fingers that may be attributed to the use of vibration tools, you could be entitled to vibration white finger compensation.
