How to measure noise and make sense of the Noise at Work Regulations

Tips on how to manage the noise measurement process with the noise experts

Join the noise experts Pulsar Instruments on their face-to-face training courses and gain vital insight into how to manage the noise measurement process in the workplace. 

The one-day courses, delivered by Pulsar Instruments, are intended to meet the needs of those new to noise at work measurement or in need of a refresher. This course is particularly suited for those safety practitioners who have recently purchased a new sound level meter or a noise dosimeter system or who are thinking of purchasing new noise monitoring equipment and would benefit from practical, expert noise at work advice. 

The aim of the course is to raise awareness of noise as a risk, increase safety practitioners' knowledge of how to monitor noise and the current legislation together with encouraging safer behaviours and correct use of hearing PPE.

This 50- year old noise measurement products manufacturer has had extensive experience with workplace noise measurements through direct contact with HSE professionals around the world since 1969 and has forged a strong reputation in the field.  The course reflects this expertise in a way that is accessible to all.  Enough information is presented to allow sensible noise measurements to be made; the basic theory is limited to that which is vital to understanding the measurement process. This year there will be a greater emphasis on the practical workshop so attendees can come away knowing exactly what to measure, where, when and how. Attendees will also have an opportunity to look at what to do with the measurements once taken including how to make HSE compliant reports.

The actual measurement process is covered in some detail so that the requirements of the UK Health and Safety Executive or the European Union Directive, can be fully covered. The consequences of not keeping within or below the limits set by the Regulations are fines, compensation claims from workers affected by hearing loss and increased costs in health monitoring, PPE and remediation activities.

Current course dates are:

  • Wednesday 13 March 2019 – National Railway Museum, York
  • Tuesday 11 June 2019 –  Birmingham Science Museum
  • Wednesday 18 Sept. 2019 – National Railway Museum, York
