Noise at work

Excessive noise is a prevalent workplace hazard, affecting employees across various industries. Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can lead to permanent hearing loss and other health complications, impacting not only well-being but also productivity and compliance. Our Noise at Work assessments offer a proactive approach to managing workplace noise and safeguarding your team.

Comprehensive Noise Assessments

Our expert team conducts thorough noise assessments, tailored to meet the specific needs of your business. By measuring exposure levels across different areas and tasks, we identify high-risk zones, machinery, and work activities that may contribute to harmful noise exposure.

Understanding Exposure Levels

Our assessments provide a clear picture of noise exposure across your workplace, detailing when and where employees may be at risk. Through sophisticated monitoring and precise data analysis, we help you understand both peak noise levels and cumulative exposure over time, offering insights into the sources and duration of excessive noise.

Mitigation and Control Strategies

Once we’ve identified key areas of concern, we provide suggestions for tailored mitigation strategies. These may include:

Engineering controls

Modifications to machinery or processes to reduce noise at the source.

Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Guidance on the appropriate selection and use of hearing protection, tailored to the specific noise levels of your environment including hearing protection zones.

Administrative controls

Adjustments to work schedules, task rotations, or workstation layouts to minimise noise exposure.

Compliance and Reporting

We provide comprehensive reporting to support your compliance with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. Our assessments ensure that you not only meet legal obligations but also create a healthier, more comfortable environment for your employees. With our clear documentation and expert advice, you can have confidence in meeting regulatory standards.

Training and Awareness

Effective noise management includes educating your workforce on the risks of noise exposure and safe practices. We offer tailored training sessions that raise awareness about the importance of hearing protection, the correct use of PPE, and ways to minimise exposure.
