Bad vibrations

BRITAIN’S Defence chiefs are fighting to prevent the Army’s tanks being stopped in their tracks by the introduction of a European directive on vibration and noise at work. The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations and the Control of Noise at Work Regulations have left officers scrambling to discover if the military’s armoured vehicles break the rules. “If you are in a combat situation then clearly it will be difficult to bring in these regulations,” explained a spokesman for the Health and Safety Executive. Daily Telegraph 2/9/05.
