Ensure you
comply with the Noise at Work Regulations
with this Robust
Sound Meter
What is the
Regulation ?
All
work places must ensure they operate within the new noise levels specified
by the Health and Safety Executive.
| Lower action level = 80dB
|
| Upper action level = 85dB |
| Absolute legal limit = 87dB |
Sample
readings should be taken during the working day. Providing the readings you
take fall below the Upper action Limit, you can simply record the
measurements taken and file for future record.
Should the
readings be near or exceed the Upper Action Limit further sound measurements
should be taken. A sound meter which provides an average sound level over a
specified duration should be used for this. This feature is known as LEQ
(short for equivalent, continuous noise level)
