Noise Assessment Competency Course Course
Introduction:
The purpose of this course is to provide an understanding of the regulations regarding noise at work and their practical ramifications. A basic method for noise assessment computations is demonstrated to the delegates. Programmers for hearing protection, noise control, and noise hazard evaluation are also described.
Course Objectives:
To provide delegates with the knowledge and confidence to carry out accurate noise surveys and effective noise assessments in a variety of workplace situations sp;assessments for the area, deciding what systems and procedures to use, 'supervising' those charged with doing the tests, interpreting the results and write management reports etc.
