NOISE ASSESSMENTS:

The Noise at Work Regulations 1989 require an employer to consider the daily exposure of noise levels to its employees - "At 85 dB (A) - ear protection must be provided if required by employees. On reaching 90 dB (A) ear protection must be provided and must be worn, it is an offence not to do so".

From February 2006 the "Action Levels" will be reduced by 5 dB (A). At each level - employers will be required to account of these changes and modify their ear protection policy and/or conduct a new assessment. ISI technical staff are available on 01675 481779 to assist you with these forthcoming changes.

ISI can determine what, if any, noise control is required. Utilising acoustic measuring equipment provide a full site survey. Produce a comprehensive report of the findings and possible solutions.

This protects the employer from future claims relating to loss of hearing by employees. This is becoming more important as society becomes increasing litigious, a phenomenon fuelled by the "no-win-no-fee" solicitors.

ACCIDENT AND FIRE INVESTIGATIONS:

We can provide a "Third-Party" accident investigations service, providing professional and impartial advice to stands as "Expert Witnesses" in a court of law.

PRE-PURCHASE SURVEY:

Pre-purchase evaluation of plant, with regards to: condition, value and compliance with essential UK safety requirements including imports for UK usage.

PLANT AND MACHINERY RISK ASSESSMENTS:

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment regulations - PUWER 1998, require a risk assessment to be carried out on all work equipment. The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations - LOLER 1998 requires all lifting operations to be assessed for riks and lifting procedures documented and through examination of all lifting equipment.

We can assist in all of these areas, providing risk assessment and thorough examination compiled by a qualified surveyor.

IDENTIFICATION SURVEY FOR STATUTORY PLANT INSPECTIONS:

With the ever increasing level and complexity of legislation today, together with various updates and changes, it is often difficult to ensure that the employer / user / owner is not outside of the law.

We can alleviate this problem by providing a site survey and inventory of all plant which requires inspection by a competent person.
