Reduce costs by rationalising and combining noise and HAV risk management.
Effective assessment and risk management of both Hand-Arm Vibration and noise soaks-up scarce resources, particularly in industries such as construction where plant is mobile and ever changing.
We have invested in the latest in-ear microphone technology to simplify noise assessments on personnel who wear helmets or other protective equipment that makes conventional noise assessment difficult. It can also be used to assess noise levels inside PPE to evaluate operator exposure against the Exposure Limit Value (ELV) of 87dB(A).
A good candidate for the most successful fan noise control project in history…
We have recently celebrated a hugely successful project for the Tata (Corus) steelmaker that has gained us the Rushlight Noise Abatement Award and saved Corus 7 figure sums.
The Rushlight Awards are a celebration and promotion of the leading organizations throughout UK and Ireland which have furthered environmental technology and innovation.
Potentially profitable noise control, avoid wasting resources on assessment and controlling the supply side…
These 3 articles published in the Health and Safety at Work magazine over the summer of 2009 provide pragmatic advice on making the risk management process as efficient and effective as possible. They will make you think – and you’ll probably change some of the things you do… You can download them below – let us know what you think.
Providing easy access to noise reduction Best Practice via the company intranet
We have been contracted to make our very extensive noise control database available on the intranet of a major international company with c 80 sites world-wide.
A new data center near Williston generates a host of noise complaints. No-one diagnoses the cause of the noise complaints (hum). Instead, there is a guess as to the solution. A guess that wastes $millions on a truly massive and ineffective noise wall that has zero effect on complaints. Our analysis of the news broadcast soundtrack proved that the wall could not work. 2 minutes of diagnosis would have saved $millions... It's very easy to avoid this common problem.
