Garage Noise at Work Survey

To avoid noise affecting the health of employees in a garage workshop, nearly all companies are required by law, to assess whether they need to mitigate for excessive noise. This is normally done initially by using a Risk Assessment of the various processes involved in the stated garage workshop. If a process is identified as a possible source of excessive noise, then a Full Noise At Work Survey will be required.

The Noise At work Survey must be carried out by a Competent Person, all noise surveys must be reviewed when there has been a likelyhood that the noise level may have changed, for example when a new machine or process is installed within the garage workshop.

Sound Solution Consultants can carry out a Noise at Work survey at your garage or workshop, and we will ensure that your survey fulfills the requirements as laid down in the statutory guidance.

In order that we carry out the noise at work survey fully, we will need to know the following:

How many employees
How many processes.
Factory layout.
Hours of work
Position and duration of work of each employee.
Position of Noise sources
Have you got a Health Surveillance policy.
   
Once we have all this information, then we would work out where to measure within the garage workshop, in some cases Noise Dose meters may be required, these help to establish noise levels exposed by individual employees who may not work in one area alone and may be subjected to several different noise risks.

Once the noise at work survey has been completed, a full report will be submitted to you, if any mitigation measures are required then we would list these within the report, so that you can review the options open to you.
