Hand arm vibration syndrome

Workers who use tools such as tree surgeons, forestry workers, car body shop workers, heavy steel fabricators, foundry and construction workers are susceptible to to this condition.

Hand arm vibration can also cause a range of other medical conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Often these problems can occur after short exposure to vibrating tools/equipment or they may take years. This condition is preventable but once damage has occurred it is unfortunately permanent and can be disabling. Early detection can prevent repeated exposure and prevent disfigurement or damage. We have been trained by the HSE and are qualified to undertake Tier 3 assessments.
