Occupational Noise & Vibration Assessment
Workplace Noise and Vibration Compliance
Occupational noise and vibration assessments help employers protect staff, meet health and safety duties, and manage exposure risks from workplace activities. This work supports compliance where noise or vibration may affect employees during normal operations, maintenance, manufacturing, plant operation or construction-related tasks.
We assess noise and vibration exposure arising from machinery, processes, tools, vehicles and workplace activities. Measurements are used to evaluate daily exposure levels, identify exceedances of action values or exposure 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 a one-off report.
