developed symptoms due to VMF?
Some workers, particularly those in construction, regularly use vibrating tools such as pneumatic drills and concrete breakers in their work. Because of the nature of these tools, the employer has a legal duty to ensure that any worker's exposure to such tools is kept to a minimum. Unfortunately, not every employer does this and it can mean workers developing a condition known as hand arm vibration syndrome or vibration white finger (VMF). This condition can affect the hands, arms and fingers and is characterised by tingling sensations and white fingertips in cold weather. If you're seeing these kinds of symptoms and you believe it's due to excessive exposure to vibrating tools while at work, then it's important that you contact a legal representative. Our team at John Hoy, Son & Murphy have worked on a number of noise-induced hearing loss claims over the years and can help you with yours too. Get in touch today.
