The Safe Lift.

15. Control of Noise at Work
The Factory is a advised hearing protection zone for all employees in all areas.
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 reduced the action levels by 5 dB(A).
This means that the first action level is now 80 dB(A).
- the point at which hearing protection is advised
The second action level has been reduced to 85 dB(A).
- the point at which hearing protection must be worn
Certain area’s have been identified as Mandatory Hearing protection these are sign posted and have ear
protection dispensers.
How do we protect against NIHL?
 The most reasonable way to protect the ears is to generate less noise in the first place, by better design of
machinery and equipment.
 Secondly steps should be taken to insulate the machinery to reduce the noise that it emits and to
segregate people from it (i.e. to keep them away).
 At a personal level it is possible to protect the ears with ear muffs and/or ear plugs. If you must work in an
excessively noisy environment, you should wear protectors.
