Noise can be defined as unwanted sound. The "unwanted" aspect of noise may be because of damage to hearing, annoyance or many other reasons. 

The aim of a Noise Survey is to identify those members of staff who are exposed to noise levels at or above action levels as defined by the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.

The regulations  require, amongst other things:

• risk assessment
• elimination or, where elimination is not reasonably practicable, reduction of exposure to noise to as low a level as is reasonably practicable
• health surveillance
• information, instruction and training.

What can we do for you ?

Ensure that a competent person makes an adequate noise assessment which identifies employees at risk and provides information on the steps to be taken which may be appropriate to reduce noise levels.  Keep records of the assessment, review the assessment periodically and assist in reducing the noise levels and risks from such noise levels.
