Noise Risk Assessment
What is a Noise Risk Assessment?
A noise risk assessment is conducted to protect workers who are exposed to potentially harmful noise levels. The results of the assessment are carefully reviewed and used to create preventive or corrective actions that help safeguard employees from the long-term impacts of noise exposure.​
Noise Exposure Survey
Having a Noise survey is just the starting point. What you do with the information and findings is what really matters.
We extend the services to not only include the noise risk assessment but also to deliver the results in-person to your staff and managers, install appropriate signage, issue suitable PPE and talk to the people who are affected.
We go further to get the best outcomes and work with you to finish everything off.
Improve your workplace safety and stay compliant with a Noise Risk Assessment. Simply put, this involves measuring noise levels to check if they’re a risk to people’s health or if there’s a nuisance noise problem.
It’s not just about taking readings. Choosing the right equipment and deciding where to monitor noise is key, but what really matters is having the experience to understand the results and what they mean. You can't just rely on a device to give you a number and tell you what to do next. It takes a bit of know-how to dig into the details and figure out how noise affects your staff, your environment, and your legal responsibilities.
Whether it's for workplace noise, construction projects, or meeting environmental permits for larger sites like factories or quarries, a proper noise risk assessment can help you show you're on top of compliance and avoid issues down the line, like staff health problems or noise complaints.
Make sure you're covered with a thorough noise assessment that helps you stay compliant and avoid potential headaches later on.
Noise at Work Surveys (Occupational Noise)
A noise at work survey is regularly required by law for employees subject to long periods of sustained exposure to high noise levels.
Employers will need to follow the Control of Noise at Work Regulations set by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), taking action to reduce the noise exposure to workers.
An occupational noise assessment is a legal requirement if you are expecting to operate a high noise site. As a good guide, if your site has noise levels of above 75dB, it is a good idea to get a noise assessment completed to make sure you have everything covered.

If you have equipment and machinery that makes it difficult to talk from 1 meter away from each other, you should get a survey done. The HSE provide great advice on this here.
FAQ
What is a noise survey?
A noise survey is an assessment that uses sensitive measuring equipment and reviews existing arrangements such as risk assessments, procedures, and training in relation to the noise levels being produced.
We also examine your current control measures, including PPE, and compare the noise measurements to exposure limits. This allows us to identify the most effective solutions for protecting your workforce.
The survey will conclude with a clear, concise report that includes all the key details, summarised data, and recommendations. We then follow up with a revisit to review and consult on any improvements needed to ensure the best protection for your team.
How long does a noise survey take?
A Typical survey would last 1 working shift at your facility or place of work, followed up with a few days of writing up and researching the findings, putting them together into a neat package to bring back to you a few days later. We aim to start and complete within 2 weeks from commissioning.
