Liability Risk and Insurance
HAVS award of £7,500
A man has received £7,500 in an out of court settlement after his hands were left permanently damaged by using vibrating tools
at work. He was left with Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) after using vibrating tools in his job. The condition means he
has lost sense of touch in his hands and suffers from pain in his fingers. He has now taken early retirement.
