If your employees are subjected to loud machinery on a regular basis or need to use raised voices to carry out a normal conversation, they could be at risk of losing their hearing. Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most reported occupational risks in the workplace, so it is important to manage the hazard before an employee is put in danger.
It is the employer’s responsibility to make sure the risk from exposure to noise is eliminated or reduced to a low level, or to make personal hearing protection available. As an employer, you should also place employees who are at risk under suitable health surveillance and provide hearing tests.
How we can help
Our occupational health consultants will assess the noise exposure levels in your workplace to:
- Identify whether employees are exposed to the action values and/or limits including peak sound pressure action values and/or limits.
- Identify areas and/or machines which are noisy at or above the exposure limit and/or peak sound pressure levels
- Highlight areas where occupational noise may require control
- Devise an action plan including recommendations for hearing protection and staff awareness training
We make sure our industrial and commercial clients across the country are keeping their employees safe from noise-induced hearing loss. Let us help safeguard your staff – contact us today to find out more about workplace noise monitoring.

Quality Manager

Historically, we have had LEV monitoring done by EEUK, but this was before I joined the company. Since I have been in this role, I have engaged EEUK to do fibre count monitoring on a kiln and we are planning a noise survey too. I have already received the RAMS pack for this job to review prior to the survey which is fabulous, I normally spend a large proportion of time when working with contractors trying to get this information.
