IEC consultants are experienced in undertaking noise and vibration assessments of workplace exposure.

The Control of Noise at Work Regulations (2005) was implemented in the UK on the 6^th April 2006. The scope of the regulations is wider than those contained within its predecessor (Noise at Work Regulations, 1989). One of the main alterations is that the lower threshold for noise assessments has been reduced from 85 dB(A) to 80 dB(A). This has a major impact on number of employees in the workplace requiring assessment. The Health and Safety Executive estimates that there are 600,000 employees exposed to noise levels of at least 85 dB(A) but approximately 1.6 million employees within the 80 – 85 dB(A) range.

Awareness of hand-arm vibration (HAV) & whole-body vibration (WBV) has significantly increased in recent times with epidemiological studies linking prolonged exposures with various health disorders.

The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations came into force in 2005. The regulations apply to the exposure in the workplace for hand-arm vibration and whole-body vibration.
