Exposure to construction noise can lead to severe health, safety and well-being issues.
When noise levels reach 80dB (8hr TWA) employers must assess the risk to workers. At 85dB, control measures must be implemented & workers must be provided with hearing protection.
If sites do not comply with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, the HSE may serve an enforcement notice, an improvement notice, or a prohibition notice. In some cases, the HSE may consider prosecution.
