What are the signs of VWF?
As with most conditions, it’s not always obvious at first. The symptoms are there but subtle. Attributed as a flash in the pan. Some tingling in the fingers. Not being able to hold something in your hand today that you could do a few weeks ago. And then come the real warning signs – the sorts of activities that were second nature before but are now impossible. Fastening the buttons on your coat. Tying your shoelaces. Winding that Windsor tie knot so you can attend your friend’s wedding. And then it has a name – vibration white finger. All that work with that concrete breaker, that hammer drill, that needle gun – all catching up with you. But is it your fault? Or is it possible that you were using these sorts of equipment for longer than health and safety guidelines permit? If so, then you’ve got grounds for a claim. And Donnelly & Kinder in Belfast can help you with it.
Has your employed failed in their duty of care when it comes to VWF?
Vibration white finger (VWF) – also known as ‘hand arm vibration syndrome’ (HAVS) – develops due to the sustained used of vibrating tools such as sanders, grinders and chipping hammers. It’s the employer’s duty to make sure that employees are trained to use these sorts of equipment in the right way and to provide adequate safety gear as well. If you did use equipment like this and your employer did not implement proper safety measures to offset the effects, then your employer failed in their duty of care and you have grounds for compensation. Contact our team today and we’ll begin the process of making that claim.
