What is a noise at work assessment?
A noise at work assessment measures and evaluates the levels of noise employees are exposed to during their working day.
The assessment helps determine whether exposure levels could present a risk to hearing and whether action is required to reduce that risk.
It also helps employers understand their responsibilities under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, which require employers to assess workplace noise risks and take appropriate action where necessary.
A workplace noise assessment may include:
- Measuring employee noise exposure
- Identifying high-noise activities
- Assessing machinery and equipment
- Reviewing working practices
- Identifying suitable control measures
- Providing practical recommendations
