Noise Assessments and Dust Surveys

Noise assessments

Powertool

Excessive noise at work is a significant yet preventable problem affecting thousands of UK workplaces. Now is the time to address noise in your workplace, as the recent Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 lower legally acceptable noise levels.

With RoSPA's consultancy service a fully competent noise assessor (recognised by the Institute of Acoustics ), will visit your premises to determine noise exposures using appropriate instrumentation, calibration, measurement and analysis techniques.

The noise assessor will identify noise hazards and establish whether the lower and upper exposure action values are being exceeded. The noise assessor will also estimate the personal daily noise exposure of employees and identify measures required to eliminate or reduce risk, control exposure and protect employees.

Results are analysed and presented to incorporate immediate and future actions. The RoSPA consultant will also make recommendations on the selection of appropriate engineering controls, hearing protection programmes, health surveillance and PPE.

The noise assessment results will be set out in a written report and recommendations made with regard to the employers' duties under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 .

Dust surveys

Dusty environment

A RoSPA consultant will visit your premises in order to act as the 'competent person' required under CoSHH Regulations to assess workplace dust exposure levels. The consultant will use Casella CEL equipment to assess exposure levels for individuals and to carry out background monitoring. Following analysis they will report on exposure levels, legal compliance and suggested control measures.
