We’re pleased to share findings from research conducted by Agnieszka Pietrzak, now working at Oxford University, who investigated the quality of workplace noise survey reports that employers are commissioning across the UK. Her findings have revealed surprising insights that may impact how businesses approach, undertake due diligence and consider the actual scope of noise assessments before they commission.
The Health and Safety Executive is committed to ensuring duty holders receive high-quality, actionable advice – and we’re now positioned to help achieve this goal. We’ve already begun sharing Agnieszka’s initial findings with industry partners, and we extend our thanks to the Institute of Acoustics and the UK Hearing Conservation Association (where Hawkes Health maintains professional membership) for helping circulate these preliminary results.
Coming Very Soon: We’ll be releasing comprehensive details about:
- Key quality issues identified in current noise survey reports
- Practical recommendations for improving assessment standards
- Guidelines to help employers identify and commission better quality surveys
- How these findings can help your business ensure compliance while protecting worker health
Stay tuned for the full report and actionable insights that will help transform workplace noise
