Breaker Rental Has HAV Exposure Obligations Operators and Customers Overlook
Hand-arm vibration from breakers is a regulated occupational health risk. Employers renting breakers for their workers have HAV exposure assessment obligations. Rental companies that provide vibration magnitude data with each rental help customers meet their legal duties — those that don't, and whose customers suffer HAVS, face increasing pressure to have contributed to the risk.
Breaker Rental With HAV Data and Equipment Accountability
HAV Vibration Data Sheets
Attach manufacturer vibration magnitude data to every rental confirmation — customers receive the information they need for their HAV risk assessment.
Chisel and Tool Bit Tracking
Track chisels, moils, and clay spades as accessories per breaker — dispatched and returned per rental, replaced when worn.
Breaker Condition on Return
Log body damage, retainer condition, and chisel holder wear on return — maintenance triggered before the next rental.

Frequently asked questions
Each breaker model has a manufacturer vibration data sheet attached in the system. This is automatically included in the rental confirmation — giving customers the ahv (vibration magnitude) value they need for their daily exposure calculations under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations.
Chisels, moils, and points are accessories with their own inventory records. Each is dispatched per rental and checked in on return. Worn or missing tool bits trigger a replacement charge at your configured rate.
Yes — when a pneumatic breaker is added to a booking, the system prompts staff to add a compatible compressor. Both items are linked on the rental agreement and invoiced together.
Electric, petrol, pneumatic, and hydraulic breakers are separate inventory categories with their own availability, pricing, and application notes. Customers see the right machine for their power source and application at booking.
