Controlling Noise During Refurb & Fit-Out
Whether you are working in a commercial building, shopping centre, leisure facility, school, hospital or another facility, it is essential that people onsite and nearby are protected from potential hazards, including Noise.
Excessive noise can make warnings harder to hear, interfere with communications and lead to a range of long-term medical conditions such as Tinnitus, Hearing Loss, and Depression.
Furthermore, failure to comply with the noise limits set by your local Authority could result in a Noise Abatement Notice being issued and work could be stopped altogether.
What is the Best Way to Control Noise on Site?
With works often being carried out in live environments, you may need to line the perimeter of the work area with high attenuation acoustic barriers to stop noise travelling outside. If you have particularly noisy activities on site, it may be better to contain them using a cutting enclosure, a machinery enclosure or an acoustic shroud.
