Noise At Work
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, which implement the European Union's Physical Agents (Noise) Directive within Great Britain, brought significant changes to the actions required by employers and employees.
Employers have extra responsibilities, and noise exposures and level limits will be lowered.
Premier Measurements specialize in Noise at Work assessments for small, mid sized and large work places. Offering highly detailed and comprehensive reports detailing:
- Employees noise exposures and comparison of exposure with the exposure action levels and limit values.
- A noise management plan indicating noise control areas and the appropriate hearing protection scheme for those areas.
- A site map indicating measured noise levels.
The legislation calls for the use of 'expert intermediaries', or in plain English a competent third party, when the employer finds themselves not competent for completing a noise risk assessment. Not only can the assessments be time consuming but they can also be complex. Therefore choosing Premier Measurements to carry out your Noise at Work survey will be a wise and cost effective decision.
