Noise measurements and investigations at workplaces

If workplace noise and vibrations at workplaces permanently exceed a certain level, this can lead to reduced performance and damage to employees' health. In Germany, the Noise and Vibration Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance (LärmVibrationsArbSchV) applies. If the noise action values of 80 / 85 dB(A) are exceeded at workplaces, the following obligations apply:

  • Assessment and evaluation of occupational noise and vibrations
  • Noise measurement and risk assessment
  • Reduction of exposure through a noise reduction program
  • Labelling of noise zones
  • Instructions of employees
  • Occupational health precautions

We provide you with expert support in fulfilling your occupational health and safety obligations to ensure the health and safety of your employees.

As experts in noise protection, we also optimize workplaces at machines and in open-plan offices regarding noise protection and the well-being of employees.
