Overview
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 are designed to protect workers from injury resulting from exposure to noise.
To manage the risks from noise exposure and to comply with the regulations, organisations need to assess and control exposures. They also need to ensure that their workers understand the risks and have any necessary training.
If workers are at risk, organisations must provide suitable health surveillance to monitor any progression of injury and to provide feedback on the effectiveness of their exposure controls.
This one-day course provides an overview of the duties required under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, and gives practical guidance on how to control and manage noise risks in the workplace.
