The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 place a legal duty on employers to prevent damage to the hearing of all employees and visitors etc. within their premises.

Using 'Action Levels' specified in the regulations, employers must arrange for a competent person to carry out an assessment which should identify personnel exposed to unacceptable levels  of noise (i.e. at or above the action levels), and should also decide on the necessary action to take to reduce exposure and protect hearing.

• An initial noise assessment (including personal and static monitoring)
  
• Guidance on the selection of suitable hearing protection equipment (following the collection of suitable octave band frequency measurements within the workplace)
  
• Advice on the reduction and control of noise
  
• Area surveys to identify individual noise sources
  
• Departmental noise 'mapping' to identify levels in excess of the First, Second and Peak Action Levels
  
• Site perimeter noise measurements to assist in environmental impact assessment
