Vibration claims and vibration injury

Vibration claims could be made in situations where you suffer tingling, numbness or aching in the hands or arms.

Often called hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), this is an industrial condition brought on by repeated and/or long-term use of vibrating tools.

Sufferers often find that their hands tingle, their fingers go numb or their forearms ache, sometimes even when they have stopped using the tools. Many people also have sensitivity in the hands and fingers and may have difficulty handling small items or holding a pen. Equal pay claims.
