Glenside Environmental can carry out workplace noise assessments in conjunction with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Control of Noise at Work) Regulations, and advise on their findings.
An initial assessment is made of the work area to identify noise sources. To quantify an operative’s daily noise exposure, Type 1 integrated sound level meters and personal dosimetry is used.
An assessment is made and recommendations given as to the suitability of any hearing protection supplied to ensure that employers do not exceed the exposure limit value and that they are not over protecting their workforce.
Glenside Environmental can carry out workplace noise assessments and is able to give advice for the control and reduction of noise and is also able to assist with the creation of action plans, and the review of assessments.
Legal Duty
The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Control of Noise at Work) Regulations places a legal duty on employers to undertake a risk assessment to ascertain whether employees are exposed to levels of noise that represent a risk to health. These risk assessments should be undertaken by a competent person.
