Ergonomic tools can help prevent Vibration White Finger

With the introduction of new HSE health and safety regulations relating to Vibration White Finger, employers are now taking steps to introduce ergonomic policies and require that employees use ergonomic tools to reduce the likelihood of an industrial accident and the risk of developing Vibration White Finger.

Employers are now required by law to assess workplace safety and work-related accidents to establish what risks an employee is regularly exposed to, in order to reduce excessive exposure to vibration that will cause too much stress and strain for their body.

Replacement tools
Some pneumatic tools have not been modified to ensure vibration reduction for decades. Tools can be over 50 years old, with no vibration reduction measures at all, and so produce high levels of vibrations.

Ergonomic tools can take place of potentially damaging vibratory tools. High-tech "systems" for dampening vibration have been in development in production laboratories over the last ten years. Other improvements include reducing weight, sound levels and advances in the power-to-weight ratio that power tools can achieve.

More and more companies globally are now cottoning on to the fact that they can reduce personal injuries amongst their workforce including conditions like Vibration White Finger and production costs by using ergonomic tools.

Vibration White Finger compensation claim
Many workers continue to work while experiencing the symptoms of Vibration White Finger because they don't understand the condition they're experiencing and so don't treat it accordingly. They also often don't know that they can ask employers to provide different tools for the job if they feel they are experiencing excessive levels of vibration.

The consequences can be catastrophic. Vibration White Finger sufferers can experience disabilities that they never recover from, and find themselves unable to carry out simple daily tasks like cooking, gardening and tying their shoes.
