Hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) tends to afflict those who have used heavy duty power tools; indeed anyone using tools that rotate, vibrate, or are percussive hand-guided implements, is liable to be at risk. HAVS represents arises as a consequence of the vibration of the machine, producing problems with the circulation, particularly in the arms, hands, and fingers, and the sense of touch, though it may also be associated with bone and joint problems.
Which workers are at risk? Miners, road diggers, and construction workers obviously tend to be afflicted, so are those using industrial sewing machines, grinders, and floor polishers. Foundry workers, including fettlers and grinder, who use chipping hammers or griding machines may also suffer from the condition. So might bricklayers and masons, gardeners, carpenters and joiners and electricians and electrical maintenance fitters. Less obvious professions are also affected ? tree surgeons and speedboat operators, for example, may also be susceptible, indicating a substantial breadth of workers who may suffer.
HAVS incorporates the better known vibration white finger (VWF), a painful condition involving the fingers blanching and being vulnerable to the cold, and one that is prevalent: over 300,000 people in Britain suffer from it and most are eligible to make a compensation claim. The symptoms to look for include tingling, whiteness, or numbness in the fingers which worsens when they are exposed to more vibration, and to the cold. The sense of touch is normally fundamentally affected, and when circulation returns, the fingers may exhibit a throbbing pain and a red appearance.
A further branch of these musculoskeletal disorders is whole body vibration syndrome (WBV), which tends to afflict drivers of shaky vehicles such as lorries and tractors, and those who drive off-road.
Where industries increasingly use vibrating tools, the prevalence of VWF increases too. Industries involving the extraction of water and energy have the highest average rate of VWF diagnoses, but new cases also appear in construction, manufacturing, agricultural work, forestry, and fishing.
There is a limitation period involved in knowledge of having VWF, HAVS or WBV, and issuing legal proceedings. After knowledge of the condition is required, one should make a claim in 3 years, although the court does have some discretion to extend this period.
