Certificate of Competence in Workplace Noise Risk Assessment

Course description

Certificate of Competence in Workplace Noise Risk Assessment:

The aims of this Institute of Acoustics (IOA) course are twofold:

 1. To enable delegates to appreciate the nature of noise hazards in the workplace and the need to protect the hearing of employees, and

  2. To enable delegates to advise and assist employers to meet statutory duties relating to noise in the workplace.

The course is suitable for managers, supervisors, engineers, technical/scientific personnel, safety representatives, HR professionals, safety officers and/or consultants who have an interest in or responsibility for managing the risks associated with exposure to noise. In addition, any personnel, whose responsibility may require them to have a working knowledge of noise measurement and an appreciation of noise control techniques/methods will benefit from the course.

Upon completion, successful students will be awarded the Certificate of Competence in Workplace Noise Risk Assessment (by the Institute of Acoustics, IOA).

This IOA course provides first class tutoring and training from experts in the field and may allow participants to develop a rapid pathway into a career in acoustics.

Every employer has a duty to protect the hearing of his/her employees.  Indeed, many organisations need to actively manage noise issues – be they complaints from employees and/or neighbours. In addition, legislation on noise at work has been amended in recent years and new regulations and standards on environmental noise have also evolved.

In order to make effective decisions about their duties and responsibilities many companies will need to take guidance and advice.  It is imperative that this advice is reliable and competent.
