Business owners also have a clear duty placed on them to implement and maintain the relevant procedures. As such, being able to show attendance of key safety staff to some noise awareness and noise control training would be advantageous.

Pulsar Instruments have put together a day course to help professionals understand key issues and improve their confidence of the legislation, measurement and control of harmful noise levels at work. The course is also suitable as a ‘refresher course’ for customers who may not have used their noise measuring equipment for some time and are thinking of conducting noise measurements in the near future.

This course is suitable for anyone who has responsibility for planning, implementing and managing the health and safety procedures in the workplace, including employers, business owners, health and safety managers, officers, supervisors and team leaders.

The course requires no pre-requisite training however, an active interest and involvement in workplace noise measurement and the Control of Noise at Work Regulations (2005) is advised.

Course overview
