Specialist global expert in occupational health and environmental risk monitoring solutions for the construction, mining & quarrying,  government, oil & gas, pharmaceutical processing and chemical and consultancy sectors, Casella (UK) has announced new one-day noise courses for 2014.

Offering an introduction-come-refresher on workplace noise in accordance with the UK ‘Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005’, the courses will be held at parent company, Ideal Industries head office in Warrington on the 19^th February and at Casella’s dedicated training facility in Kempston, Bedford on the 19^th March.

Designed to help those whose role requires them to protect employees from hearing loss, the Noise at Work Courses are specially designed to provide a comprehensive insight into the subject matter.

Topics are set to include an introduction to acoustics, understanding terminology and the application of legislation.

Participants attending the day-long events will be 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, will help ensure that all participants leave the course with a full understanding of how to control noise levels in their workplace.
