Workplace Noise
Excessive noise in the workplace can create an unsatisfactory and unsafe working environment
which can lead to loss of hearing or permanent damage to those people exposed.
Environmental
Noise
Environmental noise is all around us; in the workplace,
in the home and generally within our daily lives – and it can be a real nuisance. Certain activities take place
which generate acoustic noise including industrial and commercial noise sources, construction sites and leisure activities.
What We Can Do To Help You
We will discuss your concerns and tailor
an assessment of the noise to achieve a best solution to suit your requirements i.e. workplace noise assessments, environmental
noise impact assessments and noise mapping.
We will discuss the results of the assessment
and confirm whether or not your company is compliant with the law.
We will recommend control
measures to eliminate or reduce excessive noise exposure.
Hand-Arm Vibration
This is a collective term which comprises Vibration White Finger (VWF)and vibration related musculoskeletal disorders
of the upper limbs. VWF is due to damage to blood vessels and/or nerves of the hand, particularly the fingers. In recent
years, the effects of vibration exposure upon musculoskeletal function of other areas of the upper limbs has also been recognised.
We can help you to minimise, manage and monitor risks
from hand-arm vibration and can provide simple indicator systems to enable your employees to assess their own
exposure.
