This booklet provides an overview of work-related strain and vibration injuries, explaining how repetitive tasks, heavy manual work and prolonged use of vibrating tools can lead to conditions such as Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Dupuytren’s Contracture. It outlines who may be at risk, the common causes and symptoms, and the practical steps workers should take if problems arise. The booklet also highlights the legal duties on employers to assess risks, reduce exposure, provide suitable equipment and training, and monitor for early signs of injury, while noting that affected individuals in Scotland may be entitled to compensation if unsafe working conditions caused or contributed to their condition, subject to the usual three-year time limit.
