Managing noise and vibration in the workplace is essential for ensuring employee safety and compliance with regulations. At SAC, we provide expert measurement and assessment services to help employers understand and address these risks effectively.
Noise
Our noise surveys identify workplace noise issues, pinpoint problem areas, and determine steps needed to comply with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations. The results can be used in your noise risk assessment and help identify employees at risk of noise-induced hearing loss.
Vibration
Under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations, employers must control risks and protect employees from exposure. This includes assessing risks from:
- Hand-Arm Vibration: Caused by using hand-held power tools, leading to damage in nerves, blood supply, and joints.
- Whole-Body Vibration: Experienced from operating vehicles like forklifts, trucks, or buses, which can impact overall health.
SAC can measure vibration levels in tools and vehicles, identify risks, and guide you on compliance measures to safeguard your workforce.
