Occupational Noise Training

Description

Bruel & Kjaer have revised the Occupational Noise Training Course to better accommodate the needs of our clients and to include the requirements of the new harmonised Work Health and Safety legislation pertaining to occupational noise. The program consists of 2 days. Day 1 is concentrated on Noise Awareness and is suitable for anyone wanting to learn about noise, its effects and a brief understanding of how it is measured. Day 2 concentrates in-depth on Occupational Noise assessment and management. It would be expected that a person who attends Day 2 would have already completed the Noise Awareness (Day 1) training course.

Day 1 - Noise Awareness (Occupational & Environmental)

Day 2 - Occupational Noise Monitoring and Mangement

The Occupational Noise Monitoring & Management course will build on the information that was presented on Day 1 and is aimed at participants who have carried out or, who are intending to carry out occupational noise surveys or assessments for both large and small organisations. Attendees will gain the practical in-depth knowledge and confidence to survey noise in the workplace and learn how to implement an effective noise management programme which will meet the legislative requirements. In the workshop the attendees will use sound level meters to measure a range of noise scenarios. Courses are tailored to meet the Work Health and Safety legislative requirements.

Material that will be covered in this course includes:

• Noise surveys
• Noise measurement equipment - when to use what
• Recognising limitations and measurement uncertainty
• Evaluation of noise survey results in accordance with AS/NZS 1269-2005
