New Noise at Work Course a Great Success

Global specialist in industrial hygiene and occupational health monitoring equipment, Casella CEL (UK), has held a new one-day course offering an introduction-come-refresher on workplace noise in accordance with the UK ‘Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005’.

Designed to help those whose role requires them to protect employees from hearing loss, the Noise At Work Course at Casella’s dedicated training facility in the company’s head office in Kempston, Bedford, provided a comprehensive insight into the subject matter.

Topics included an introduction to acoustics, understanding terminology and the application of legislation.

The 25 participants who attended the day-long event, were also given a chance to put Casella’s equipment through its paces, with both hand-held sound level meters and dosimeters available to use.

A practical noise assessment session, combined with sections on understanding noise data, producing reports, hearing protection calculation and selection, plus engineering noise control, ensured that all participants left the course with a full understanding of how to control noise levels in their workplace.

The cost of the course is redeemable against the first purchase of a Casella Noise Dosimeter or Sound Level Meter and includes lunch and refreshments.

Further courses are scheduled to take place throughout 2013. Interested parties are advised to book early to avoid disappointment as delegate numbers are limited.
