Vibration White Finger (VWF) is a condition caused by prolonged exposure to hand-arm vibration. This condition affects workers who use vibrating tools such as pneumatic drills, chainsaws, or power tools, and is commonly seen in the construction and manufacturing industries.
VWF is caused by regular exposure to vibration from machinery and tools, which affects the blood vessels in the fingers. This can lead to numbness, pain, and difficulty in using the affected hand.
To claim compensation for VWF, you must prove that your condition is related to your work environment and exposure to vibrating tools. Evidence of exposure and medical diagnosis is necessary for a successful claim.
As with other industrial diseases, VWF claims must be made within three years of the diagnosis or from when you become aware of the condition’s work-related cause.
