Noise measurement company Cirrus Research has unveiled a new range of equipment designed to help the hospitality sector meet new legal limits on noise.
With a survey conducted by the Royal National Institute for the Deaf showing that 68 per cent of employers are unaware of the new regulations, the new kit from Cirrus will allow managers to measure occupational noise levels inside their premises and environmental noise levels outside them.
Explaining, the company's James Tingay says: "Strict Control of Noise at Work Regulations, which have applied to all other workplaces since 2005, are due to be extended to the hospitality industry in April 2008.
"These impose a statutory duty on employers to identify noise hazards, estimate likely exposure to noise, identify measures required to eliminate and reduce risk, control noise exposure, protect employees and keep records.
"As a result, unless noise levels at a particular operation remain exactly the same, at every time of day or night throughout the year, it is unlikely that an annual check by external noise consultants will suffice."
Under the new regulations, an Upper Exposure Action value of 85 decibels will be introduced, allowing for eight hours exposure. However, exposure time is slashed for every three decibel increase.
Cirrus Research’s new range has been designed and developed for all businesses within the hospitality sector, from larger hotels and restaurants to small pubs, clubs and bars.
The equipment ranges from sound level meters, designed to enable businesses to be self-sufficient in noise measurement, to 'doseBadge' personal noise dose meters, worn by individual members of staff to measure the noise they are exposed to during a typical working day.
