Jason Johnstone
If anybody understands the personal and lasting impact of Hand Arm Vibration (HAV) it is Jason Johnstone, CEO of Vibration Action.
Jason was employed as an operator at Tiwai Point smelter for 15 years until nerve damage to his fingers, due to constant exposure to hand tool vibration, forced him to stop work.
Upon researching the condition, and discovering how widespread and often misdiagnosed the problem is in New Zealand, Jason created Vibration Action and is now committed to raising awareness of the issue.
