Another common industrial
illness is the Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome, also
known as HAVS. Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome or HAVS
is caused by prolonged usage of hand held vibratory
tools, such as gas powered chain saws and pneumatic
tools. Therefore a Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome Claim
/ HAVS Claim can only be applied for by workers in
industries where such tools are used.
The symptoms of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome or HAVS include blanching or numbness
of the fingers and can lead to reduced dexterity
of the fingers and hand. The sum received as compensation
for Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome Claims is also dependent
on three things:
1. It has to be medically
proven that it was use of the hand held vibratory
tools
that led to the
industrial illness of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome
or HAVS and
2. The extent of disability / distress caused by
Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome or HAVS in the patient
3. The employers were at fault
