Workplace Noise Assessments
According to The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, these must include 3 elements:
- Static measurements to map and zone all significant noise sources
- The calculation or measurement of personal exposure
- Frequency analysis of major noise sources to determine the effectiveness of hearing protection provided.
Envirocare’s experienced consultants undertake static mapping to provide a colour coded diagram, and measure personal exposure using dosemeters. The comprehensive report provides not only the results but recommendations on reducing exposure to noise.

These example reports are tasters of the type of report that you would receive following commissioning of such testing work at your premises. As you can see it includes the requirements of the regulations and guidance for thorough testing and assessment to help you in gathering information to control your risks. They include plenty of useful information in the discussion and recommendations to help provide you with cost effective solutions to your problem areas.
Environmental Noise Assessment
Environmental noise can be a problem for any business that emits noise into the environment, no matter which industry sector they are in. Noise that is generated from production processes, construction or traffic movements may be required to be measured and assessed for IPPC applications, local authority permits and in response to statutory nuisance complaints or planning applications.
Envirocare consultants are experienced in the measurement and assessment of environmental noise from a wide range of industrial sectors. We can assess environmental noise in all types of workplaces to match client requirements.
• Specific and background noise measurements for IPPC applications
• Noise monitoring for compliance with limits
• Surveys from existing sites to determine compliance with planning conditions e.g. BS 4142 and PPG 24
