Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. This course aims to provide the participant with an appreciation of the nature of noise hazards in the workplace and the effects of noise on people. It also details the approach in carrying out noise assessments in the workplace and in the general environment and to determine the significance of measurement data in relation to the various standards for compliance. On completing this course successfully, the participants will be able to:-. 1) Describe the consequences to health and well-being of excessive exposure to noise. 2) Understand the measurement (including dosimetry) of noise in relation to current standards. 3)Conduct surveys in the workplace to assess risks from noise. 4) Advise on the need and means of control including PPE. 5) Appreciate and advise on environmental noise assessment and concern. 6) Understand current standards and good practice in these fields. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of noise assessment and control. It covers the physics of noise covering sound properties and definitions and measurements units of noise; the human response to noise including the ear and its response to sound, audiometry and noise exposure limits; the machinery noise and assessing noise risk covering sound level meters, frequency analysis, personal noise dosimetry, sound power and sound intensity measurements and noise measurements and assessments; the noise control and hearing protection that include engineering control of noise, control of noise generated by administrative means and hearing protection; the environmental noise comprising of propagation of sound, instrumentation, measurement and assessment; and the standards and good practice of noise and environmental noise link to course overview PDF
