Vibration White Finger (VWF) / vibration compensation

Vibration white finger (VWF) can be referred to as Hand arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) or Reynaud’s disease but they are essentially the same condition. Injury Solicitors ChesterIt can be caused by regular exposure to tools which emit high levels of vibration (drills, grinders, chipping hammers, impact wrenches and air tools to name but a few). If you have worked in an industry where you may have been exposed then if you suffer from any of the following symptoms then you may be suffering from this condition:-

  • Pins and Needles in your fingers
  • Numbness in the fingers
  • Cold Fingers
  • Loss of colour in your fingers
