Vibration white finger currently affects around 300,000 people in the UK, but potentially 2,000,000 people are at risk of developing the condition in years to come. People who work with high impact machinery and power tools are particularly at risk. Employers all have a duty of care to protect you and ensure you’re aware of current health and safety issues. 

Your employer should protect you throughout your time working with the company, by providing you with suitable clothing, e.g. if you are exposed to the cold you are wearing the right uniform and if you are using tools, you must be properly trained on them and are using the right ones for the job. Those using chain saws, lawn mowers, sanders, pneumatic drills, jack hammers and sanders are particularly at risk. 

The employer must make sure you take frequent breaks too. If they don’t do any of this, and you suffering from vibration white finger or related disease, you could be entitled to make a compensation claim againist your employers insurance.    

Sometimes the symptoms are reversible, but often there is permanant damage, and in very rare cases, a visit to the hospital may be required, especially if the finger becomes ulcerated or gangrenated. 

Home visits from the team at Johnson Law are often available, and they will try and arrange an appointment team that suits you.
