HSE guidance on the Control of Noise at Work Regulations, called Controlling noise at work (L108), can be found on its website. A third edition of guide was published in 2021, “updated in keeping with changes to related legislation, technical advances and experience”. It provides guidance on what the regulations mean, setting out an employer’s legal obligations to control risks to workers’ health and safety from noise. It also gives detailed advice on assessing risks, practical noise control, how to select and use hearing protection, what to consider when buying and hiring equipment, and how to develop health surveillance procedures.
