A train-refurbishment company has been fined £90,000 and ordered to pay £45,000 costs after exposing workers to vibrating tools, risking hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard how Faiveley Transport Tamworth Ltd exposed its workers to 'uncontrolled and unrestrained' exposure to vibrating tools from 2005 to 2015 at its site in Tamworth, Staffordshire. Employees were using various vibrating tools including sanders and air-fed cutting equipment to refurbish train doors.
