Occupational noise assessments
The topic and effects of noise in workplaces is
attracting increasing attention from regulators and employee advocates. Timely
action can reduce the risks associated with excessive noise.
Every State is placing more importance on the issue of
noise in the workplace by creating new regulations. Noise surveys are required at least every
five years, or more frequently if workplace changes occur. Noise training
