Vibration white finger (VWF) is one of the most common industrial diseases in the UK.
It is caused by using machinery that vibrates over an extended period of time with damaging results.
Those who have the condition are likely to suffer from tingling and numbness in their hands and fingers as well as loss of dexterity and changes to their fingers such as the colour of their skin.
Employers have a duty to protect against the risk of the condition by providing workers with protective gloves and training as well as ensuring that machines and tools are effectively maintained or replaced on a regular basis.
