Noise Assessment

Noise assessments are very important for all workers who regularly spend time working with loud machinery. Workers who are over-exposed to noisy environments run the risk of damage to their hearing

Noise Assessments For Workers

Noise Assessment

The Control of Noise at Work Regulations are designed to protect workers from exposure to noise, which is still a problem in many industries. It is estimated they will extend protection to around one million new workers, in addition to the same number protected under new current law. Noise can induce deafness or persistent ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Once damage is done it is permanent, and it may affect quality of life, but it can be prevented.

What we assess and how we do it

Our Consultant will complete an assessment of the site and provide you with a bespoke manual which will include noise readings as well as a report with our recommendations. The report will include where hearing protection should be worn and indicated as to it being mandatory or optional as well as the level of hearing protection required within all the areas of the tested environment.

Milne Safety's noise assessment expert will visit your premises to assess the following elements:

Provide recommendations to reduce noise at source
Evaluation of the assessments in the areas
Plan of the areas where readings were taken (including noise levels)
Employees daily/weekly noise exposure level
Provide details of the sources of noise
