Noise Monitoring Shropshire

Excessive workplace noise can have serious long-term effects on employee health, including permanent hearing damage and tinnitus. If your employees work with noisy machinery, equipment or processes, it’s essential to assess and manage their exposure to ensure compliance with health and safety legislation. Ryder Partnership Ltd provides professional Noise Monitoring in Shropshire, helping businesses across Telford, Shrewsbury and the wider West Midlands protect their workforce and meet their legal responsibilities.

With over 25 years’ experience in health and safety consultancy, we deliver reliable workplace noise assessments, practical advice and clear reports to help you manage occupational noise risks effectively.

Why Workplace Noise Monitoring Matters

Under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, employers must assess employee exposure to workplace noise and implement suitable control measures where action values are exceeded. Regular noise monitoring helps identify risks, protect hearing and demonstrate compliance with current legislation.

Measure employee exposure to workplace noise.
Protect employees from noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus.
Comply with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.
Identify areas where engineering or administrative controls are required.
Determine appropriate hearing protection requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is workplace noise monitoring required?

Noise monitoring should be carried out whenever employees may be exposed to noise levels at or above the lower exposure action values set out in the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, or where there is uncertainty about exposure levels.

What happens during a workplace noise assessment?

Our consultants measure workplace noise levels using calibrated sound level meters or personal dosimeters. The results are assessed against legal exposure limits, and we provide practical recommendations to reduce risk where necessary.

What if workplace noise levels are too high?

If action values are exceeded, employers should introduce suitable control measures such as quieter equipment, engineering controls, changes to working practices, designated hearing protection zones and appropriate hearing protection. Health surveillance may also be required.
