Vibration White Finger Compensation Claims

Vibration White Finger (VWF) causes the extremities to turn white and become painful, tingling and/or numb. It can also be known as Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). It is a condition caused by working with vibrating machinery and tools such as chain saws, sanders and pneumatic drills.

Vibration White Finger symptoms include:

  • The fingers may become numb and tingle which continues after the machine has been switched off.
  • Just one fingertip may temporarily turn white and start to ache; the finger may then turn white with increasing frequency.
  • Other fingers begin turning white, but the thumb is not usually affected. After several fingers turn white, the disease is probably irreversible.
  • Your arms and hands may also ache and feel painful.
