British Army soldiers are receiving health tests after they were exposed to excessive noise and vibration while operating General Dynamics Land Systems-UK (GDLS-UK) Ajax reconnaissance vehicles, defence procurement minister Jeremy Quin said in a parliamentary written statement published on 6 September.

Quin reported that 248 out of 310 personnel being tested had been assessed for noise exposure and said a full health and safety report into the problems with the vehicle would be published once it is finalised by the Ministry of Defence's (MoD's) director of health and safety. “The army continues to identify and monitor the hearing of all personnel exposed to noise on Ajax, with additional testing put in place where required,” he explained. “The army is also in the process of identifying any health effects in those potentially exposed to vibration.”
