Protect your workforce and stay compliant with expert noise and vibration assessments

AEC has extensive experience in undertaking noise and vibration at work assessments across the UK for all sizes of businesses

Ensuring Compliance with Noise and Vibration Regulations for Workplace Safety

Since the introduction of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 (CNWR) and Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 (CVWR), employers have been legally required to assess and mitigate risks from noise and vibration in the workplace. These regulations aim to protect employees from potential health risks, including Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) and Vibration White Finger (VWF), through effective noise and vibration control measures.

Why Are Noise & Vibration Assessments Important?

By law, employers must assess workplace noise and vibration levels and implement measures to reduce or eliminate harmful exposure. A failure to do so can result in significant health risks to employees and legal consequences for employers. AEC offers expert assessments tailored to meet legal requirements and protect your workforce.
