Breaker Hire Has HAV Exposure Obligations Operators and Customers Overlook
Hand-arm vibration from breakers is a regulated occupational health risk. Employers hiring breakers for their workers have HAV exposure assessment obligations. Hire companies that provide vibration magnitude data with each hire help customers meet their legal duties — those that don't, and whose customers suffer HAVS, face increasing pressure to have contributed to the risk.
