Noise at Work Regulations

protecting workers, ensuring compliance

Following the introduction of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, employers have a responsibility to ensure that workers' hearing is protected from excessive noise exposure at their place of work. This means employers must prevent or reduce the risk to workers' health and safety from extreme noise levels by implementing the appropriate control and reduction methods.
