Occupational Noise & Vibration
Workplace Noise Assessment
Occupational workplace noise assessment for companies
Occupational noise and vibration assessments are undertaken to protect employee health, ensure legal compliance, and manage exposure risks arising from workplace activities. This work supports employers in meeting their duties under health and safety legislation where noise or vibration may affect staff during normal operations.
We assess noise and vibration exposure arising from machinery, processes, tools, and workplace activities, including manufacturing, plant operation, and construction-related tasks. Measurements are used to evaluate daily exposure levels, identify exceedances of action values or limits, and inform proportionate control measures.
Our assessments help organisations understand risk, prioritise mitigation, and demonstrate compliance through clear, defensible evidence. Advice is provided in a practical format that supports implementation, staff protection, and ongoing management rather than one-off reporting.
What We Do
Our occupational noise and vibration work includes:
Workplace noise assessments to evaluate daily personal exposure, identify high-risk activities, and support compliance with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations.
Hand-arm and whole-body vibration assessments to assess exposure from tools, vehicles, and equipment, supporting compliance with the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations.
Advice on practical control measures, including engineering controls, operational changes, and management procedures, to reduce exposure at source where reasonably practicable.
