Vibration White Finger Compensation Claims

Vibration White Finger

Vibration white finger is a potentially disabling condition of the fingers and hands due to over exposure of vibration.  It is also know commonly known as hand-arm vibration syndrome.
The syndrome is quite often found in people whose occupation involves their hands being exposed to vibration, and it typically seen in pneumatic drill operators, asphalt breakers, power chain saws, chipping tools, concrete vibrators and levellers, polishers, jackhammers, power jigsaws, sanders and angle grinders, compactors, power lawnmowers, riveters, and even electronic games in which the hand controls vibrate such as the playstation.

The symptoms are an initial tingling sensation in the fingers also with numbness.  The fingers can then become white and swollen when cold and then red and painful when warm again.  The weather at the time can play an important role in aggravating the condition, wet and cold weather particularly. Problems can arise when trying to pick up small items such as nails as the feeling in the fingers diminishes and there is a loss of strength and grip in hands.

In 1976 it was recognised that vibrating power tools could cause Vibration White Finger.  A duty of care was placed upon employers to protect their employees from this danger.
