Do You Need a Workplace Noise Risk Assessment?

If noise is intrusive, or you have to shout to be heard by someone less than 2 meters away then you should probably have an assessment.

We provide work place noise risk assessments. We will work with you to assess the noise exposure of workers. We have assessed a broad range of employers ranging from 3 employees up to over 700 in a distribution centre.

• We will measure noise at work stations

Our noise at work risk assessments are to Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards and are suitable for insurance purposes.

Vibration at Work Risk Assessment

We carry out assessments and provide recommendations to demonstrate compliance with The Control of vibration at Work Regulations 2005. Among additional requirements, this establishes a whole body and hand-arm vibration exposure limit values;

Our service includes monitoring the vibration or noise exposure of individual employees. We will let you know the activities that generate the vibration or noise and provide recommendations to help you reduce vibration or noise exposure in the work place.
