Noise safety services
At Education Safety Solutions, we understand that managing noise levels in educational establishments is crucial for ensuring a safe and effective learning environment. Noise at work can affect not only the health and well-being of staff but also the learning experience of students.
How we can help you
Our Noise at Work services are specifically designed to help schools, colleges, and universities comply with noise regulations and create a conducive atmosphere for education.
Noise Risk Assessments
Our comprehensive noise risk assessments identify potential sources of harmful noise within your establishment. We measure noise levels, evaluate the risk of hearing damage, and provide detailed reports with actionable recommendations.
Noise Control Measures
Based on the findings of our risk assessments, we develop and implement effective noise control measures. This can include engineering controls, administrative controls, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce exposure to harmful noise levels.
Monitoring and Maintenance
Continuous monitoring and maintenance are essential for managing noise levels effectively. We offer ongoing support to ensure that noise control measures remain effective and that any changes in the environment are promptly addressed.
Staff training
Education and training are key to managing noise at work. We provide training programs for staff to raise awareness about the risks of noise exposure and to promote best practices in noise management.
Compliance with regulations
We help your institution comply with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, ensuring that noise levels are within safe limits to protect the hearing and health of staff and students.
Specialised areas in education
Higher and further education establishments face unique challenges in specialised areas such as sports halls and gymnasiums, music and arts rooms, and workshops and laboratories. These environments require careful management to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations and to protect the well-being of students and staff.
Sports halls and gymnasiums
Managing noise in large, open spaces like sports halls can be challenging. We offer tailored solutions to reduce noise levels and create a safer environment.
Music and arts departments
Noise levels in music rooms and arts departments can be particularly high. We provide specialised assessments and solutions to protect both students and staff from excessive noise.
Workshops and laboratories
We address noise issues specific to technical and vocational training areas, ensuring that machinery and equipment are operated safely and within noise exposure limits.
