New EU Physical Agents Directives on Noise and Vibration will be
incorporated into UK law by February 2006. Explicit action levels
for vibration will be introduced, while the action levels for noise
will be drastically cut. In order to comply with these Directives,
companies need to assess noise and vibration levels and provide
necessary protection for their employees. They are also required to
monitor and if necessary reduce noise and vibration risks. Managing
Noise and Vibration at Work introduces noise and both hand-arm and
whole-body vibration by explaining what they are and how they can
affect the body, drawing out the similarities and differences
between the hazards. It provides clear explanations of the
requirements of the EU Directives and explains how to fulfill them.
Practical information on measurement, making noise and vibration
assessments, and approaches to controlling risk help the reader to
understand the issues of noise and vibration exposure in the
workplace. The text is supported by information and diagrams of
measuring equipment, advice on how to plan a survey, worked
examples of necessary calculations, and charts and diagrams that
can be used in place of the calculations. Suitable hearing and
vibration protection is detailed. Case studies help to set the
subject in context and highlight common errors and pitfalls. The
book fully covers the syllabuses of the Institute of Acoustics'
certificate courses in Workplace Noise Assessment and Management of
Occupational Exposure to Hand-arm Vibration. It will also be of use
to those studying for the Diploma in Acoustics and Noise Control.
For those studying for the NEBOSH Diploma in Health and Safety,
this book satisfies modules 1E and 2E. As the Institute of
Acoustics syllabuses are based on the Health and Safety Executive's
guidelines, the book will also be a useful up-to-date reference
for: risk managers; Health and Safety advisors and managers;
occupational hygienists; environmental health officers; and HSE
inspectors, especially in the Construction, Manufacturing,
Agriculture and Forestry sectors. Tim South is a Senior Lecturer in
Acoustics at the School of Health and Human Sciences at Leeds
Metropolitan University, and a member of the Institute of
Acoustics' Education Committee. He teaches the Institute of
Acoustics courses for the Certificate of Competence in Workplace
Noise Assessment, the Certificate in the Management of Occupational
Exposure to Hand-arm Vibration, and also the Institute's Diploma in
Acoustics and Noise Control. He has extensive consultancy
experience in workplace noise assessments, hand-arm vibration and
whole-body vibration exposure assessments.
