Did you know that there are new requirements placed on employers, via the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005?

You are now legally required to prevent or reduce risks associated with exposure to noise.

We will conduct a workplace survey, which identifies the frequency and intensity of the noise and prepare a report on our findings.

• Hearing damage caused by exposure to noise at work is permanent and incurable
• Research estimates that over 2 million people are exposed to noise levels at work that may be harmful
• There are many new cases of people receiving compensation for hearing damage each year, with considerable costs to industry, society and the individuals. Hearing loss is usually gradual due to prolonged exposure to noise
• Tearing damage can also be caused immediately by sudden, extremely loud noises.
  
  These conditions are entirely preventable if:
• You take action to reduce exposure to noise and provide personal hearing protection and health surveillance to your employees
• Manufacturers design tools and machinery to operate more quietly
• Employees make use of the personal hearing protection or other control measures supplied.
