New Pulsar Instruments' Noise Courses to Guide You Through the Noise at Work at Regulation Maze

    NORTH YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND, October 11, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Noise at Work regulations are complex to follow and understand. From being unsure about whether the noise generated in a working environment is severe enough to create a problem, to uncertainty about applying noise level measurements to new action levels and legal limits, Noise at Work regulations can be a minefield for employers. In order to simplify the rules and expectations, Pulsar Instruments are launching a new one day course programme for 2015.

Having more than 45 years' experience in the noise measurement industry, Pulsar Instruments are experts in supporting and educating those with collective aspirations to learn more about an important aspect of workplace safety that is often neglected due to the 'hidden' elements of this type of injury.

With a barrage of legislation to conform to, employers and health and safety managers certainly have their work cut out ensuring working environments are safe for employees, including safeguarding hearing.

In April 2006 the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 came into force in the UK. The aim of the Noise Regulations is to: "ensure that workers' hearing is protected from excessive noise at their place of work, which could cause them to lose their hearing and/or suffer from tinnitus."

Pulsar's new noise awareness training programme for 2015 aims to educate attendees about noise regulations at work and to ensure these vital regulations are a priority on employers' agendas.

The comprehensive one-day course programme includes information on the following:

- Basic Noise Theory
- Noise Units and Terminology
- The New EU Physical Agents (Noise) Directive
- BS4142 Industry Standard Overview
- Noise Control Basics
- How to Measure Noise
- Using Sound Level Meters and Noise Dosimeters
- Recording information and reporting noise measurements
- Practical Workshop
- Worked examples then open to discussion

What's great about Pulsar courses is that they combine theory and practical-based activities. During the practical part of the course, attendees have the chance to get their hands on various instrumentation, make measurements and, of course, ask questions. Guests can either bring their own equipment to use or Pulsar can provide them with devices to play with.

These interactive, fun and informative new courses will enable attendees to ask questions they have related to noise at work. Answers will be given to some of the most pressing and pertinent concerns about noise in the workplace and safeguarding employees' hearing.

The new courses will take place at three different venues in the UK on different dates.

- Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester - Wednesday 18 March, 2015
- National Space Centre, Leicester, Wednesday 17 June, 2015
- National Railway Museum, York - Wednesday 23 September, 2015

All of the courses will run from 9.30 am until 3.30pm.
The course is led by an Acoustician and Member of the Institute of Acoustics.
The course includes training materials, notes, lunch and refreshments.
The cost of the course is GBP265 per person plus VAT.
