    Procedure Name: Noise Management Issue No: 1

    Procedure Ref: AV-SWP-27 Date: 27th January 2020

    POLICY
    Avantis will take all reasonable steps to reduce the risk of hearing damage caused by noise and, where possible,
    this will be achieved by means other than the use of personal protective equipment.

    The company will also take all reasonable steps to minimise the escape of noise and the disturbance caused from
    our premises to the environment and persons in the neighbourhood.

    ARRANGEMENTS
    RISK ASSESSMENT
    An assessment of noise levels will be undertaken by a competent person and a corresponding safe working
    procedure developed.

    Assessments and surveys will be recorded and updated regularly, particularly when changes in work practices
    cause changes in the noise exposure levels of employees.

    REDUCTION OF NOISE EXPOSURE LEVELS


    As far as is reasonably practicable, the company will take all steps to reduce employees exposure to noise by
    means other than the use of personal protective equipment.

    PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT


    Suitable and effective ear protection will be provided to employees working in high noise levels, as indicated to
    be necessary by the results of noise exposure assessments.

    EAR PROTECTION ZONES


    Ear protection zones, which may include particular areas, operations or pieces of equipment will be designated
    and marked using appropriate signs. All persons entering these zones will be required to wear ear protection.

    MAINTENANCE AND USE OF EQUIPMENT


    All equipment will be used correctly and maintained in efficient working order and in good repair. Defective items
    will be removed and replaced when necessary.

    INFORMATION AND TRAINING


    All employees who are subject to high levels of noise will be provided with information, instruction and training
    about the harmful effects of noise, the precautions necessary, the correct use of personal protective equipment
    and the steps to be taken to comply with legislation.
