WBVS is usually the result of extended contact with vibrating equipment or machinery. WBVS can arise through the use of hand held vibrating equipment, standing for extended periods in a vibrating area or driving commercial and/or industrial vehicles. The extent of WBVS is an overall factor of the time the victim is exposed to vibration, the frequency of exposure and the frequency of the vibration (whether high vibration equipment is involved or not). The parts of the body usually exposed to vibration are the buttocks, back, feet, and legs.

Whole body vibration syndrome has a variety of symptoms including stomach aches, chest pain, headaches, nausea and poor balance. It can also lead to back pain, displaced and injured discs and spinal injuries. It can affect the digestive, circulatory, and respiratory system. WBVS is difficult to diagnose as the symptoms are shared by many other diseases and conditions.

Negligent Employers
The consequences of vibration injury were first noticed well over 100 years ago following injury to the fingers of shipyard workers whilst riveting steel plates to form ships hulls. With time the use of electrical and compressed air percussive and vibrating equipment has increased leading on from the initially diagnosed injury of vibration white finger to hand arm vibration syndrome and subsequently to whole body vibration syndrome. Employers should therefore be well aware of the dangers of vibration injury and should ensure that their employees are well protected.

Employers have a legal duty to take reasonable care to protect their workers from health hazards such as whole body vibration syndrome. Failure to take reasonable steps to decrease the risk of WBVS will make an employer liable to pay damages in a WVBS compensation claim.
