Vibration White Finger is the name given to an industrial disease caused by the constant use of vibrating machinery including power tools. If you experience any of the following symptoms (especially in cold weather) then it could mean that you are suffering from Vibration White Finger:
• Numbness / Whiteness of the Fingers
• Tingling Sensation in the Hands
• Loss of Grip
An employee that suffers from Vibration White Finger could be entitled to make a compensation claim against their employer. This is because employers have a duty of care towards the health and safety of their employees. This means that employers are responsible for carrying out risk assessments and ensuring that employees are taking the appropriate rest breaks. Employers also have to ensure that employees are being provided with tools to limit any injury such as anti-vibration gloves.
