Where there is a risk of members of staff and therefore employees being exposed to noise above certain levels, there is a requirement to survey and assess the noise under the Noise at Work Regulations. The noise at work regulations themselves give limits regarding noise. This is expressed as the ‘Lower Noise Exposure’ and ‘Upper Noise Exposure’ action value levels. In addition, there are also other noise limits such as ‘Peak’ or ‘Maximum’ sound pressure values which should be monitored. It should be remembered that an employee’s noise exposure calculation should be based on an average of the typical working day, or even a week if required.
When employees noise exposure becomes above the lower action value level, but below the upper action value level, hearing protection must be provided to any employee if requested. However, if the employee’s noise exposure is above the upper action value level then hearing protection is considered mandatory, and should be enforced by management.
