Noise and Vibration at Work
ACCON has the expertise to assist employers with compliance with the requirements of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 and the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005.
Employers have responsibilities to act in order to safeguard the health and safety of their employees. Under the Regulations it is the employers’ responsibility to:
- Assess the risks to your employees from noise and vibration at work;
- Take action to reduce the noise and vibration exposure that produces those risks;
- Provide your employees with hearing protection if you cannot reduce the noise exposure enough by using other methods;
- Make sure the legal limits on noise and vibration exposure are not exceeded;
- Provide your employees with information, instruction and training;
- Carry out health surveillance where there is a risk to health.
ACCON UK is able to provide a comprehensive noise and vibrtion at work, from providing measurements of noise exposure and carrying out noise predictions to ensure compliance with the legal limits, through to providing comprehensive advice and design solutions to help safeguard employees from noise and vibration.
We are able to utilise our Noise Exposure Analysis Toolkit (NEAT) to determine the effects of changes in types of plant and machinery, alerations to working practices and exposure etc, in order to provide on-going analysis of hearing risk in a timely and cost efficient manner.
