Highly instructive guidance, acknowledging that noise-induced hearing damage is one of the commonest occupational health problems and reflects the reality that many dangers have relatively simple and inexpensive solutions.

Provides 60 sector case studies where successful measures were introduced. A summary of each company study enables easy navigation of the document as it scopes issues arising from those industry processes most associated with noise, eg glass bottling, chopping, pneumatic noise, compressed air, milling, packaging, blast freezing and chilling.

Examining easily identifiable solutions, eg segregation of people and machinery, acoustic panels and curtains, damping materials and silencers, the guidance also considers how to embed awareness into business thinking, particularly through quieter equipment purchasing policies. Full colour publication supported extensively by photographs.
