Vibration White Finger

Vibration White Finger is characterised by episodic blanching of the fingers in response to cold. Other symptoms can include numbness, tingling (parasthesia) and pain in the hands and fingers. The thumb is not normally affected. There are various medications that cause Raynaud´s Disease, including beta blocker drugs, and various diseases, such as scleroderma, that can have similar symptoms. These other causes must be ruled out before a diagnosis of vibration white finger can be arrived at. In extreme cases, the sufferer may lose fingers. When symptoms first appear, they may disappear after a short time. If exposure to vibration continues over months or years, the symptoms can worsen and become permanent.

The effect of legislation on worker vibration limits is intended to drive employers to provide better-designed, better-maintained tools, and to train workers appropriately. It also drives tool designers to innovate to reduce vibration. If however your employer does not provide better designed or maintained tools and train workers appropriately they may be liable to pay you compensation for your injury. Claiming compensation for a condition caused from your working environment can be a stressful and worrying thing to do. But employers are legally bound to protect its employees and carry insurance for any injury claims.
