Factory Engineer Awarded
Compensation For Hand-Arm
Vibration And Hearing Damage
“I kept telling myself the numbness would pass, but it gradually started affecting my work and life at home.”
“Mark”, a maintenance engineer in central Scotland, spent years using vibrating tools and working in high-noise factory areas.
Over time, he developed numbness in his fingers, reduced grip strength, and ringing in his ears. He later learned he was suffering from Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome and noise-induced hearing loss.
Although the symptoms had built up slowly, the effect on daily life was serious. He struggled with simple tasks, sleep became more difficult, and he worried about how long he could stay at work.
Investigations revealed that his employer had failed to properly manage exposure. Poor risk assessments, unsafe tool use, and inadequate hearing protection and health monitoring.
