A one-day, in-company course on workplace noise and vibration: the ill-health effects, the legal exposure limits, how exposure is measured and assessed, and how to control it.
Noise and vibration training gives delegates an overview of workplace noise and vibration: the ill-health effects, the sources, the legal exposure limits, how exposure is measured and assessed, and the controls and health surveillance needed. KeyOstas delivers it as a one-day in-company course.
It is for the people who manage noise and vibration risk in the workplace.
By the end of the day, every delegate will be able to do the following.
Describe the acute and chronic health effects of exposure to noise and vibration.
Identify the potential sources of noise and vibration in their own operations.
Explain the legal framework and the exposure action and limit values.
Outline the physiology of sound, and how vibration affects the body.
Explain the principles of noise and vibration measurement and assessment.
Evaluate and interpret noise and vibration measurements against the limits.
Suggest suitable engineering, procedural and behavioural controls to reduce risk.
Describe the health surveillance requirements, including audiometry for noise.
One day, working through noise and then vibration in turn.
Discussion-led and applied, with no written exam.
A KeyOstas tutor delivers the day at your premises, and your own noise and vibration sources can be used.
Understanding is built and checked through discussion and worked examples rather than an exam.
Every delegate receives a KeyOstas certificate of attendance on completion.
