Occupational Noise Survey for PepsiCo International.

Noise at Work Risk Assessments

Project Brief: We worked alongside Pepsico and Walkers to assist with an occupational noise assessment focused on key areas of the production process where additional noise control measures were required. The purpose of the assessment was to quantify exposure and determine the employer’s compliance with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 to ensure that the working environment does not overexpose employees to noise.

Onsite spot measurements and personal dosimeters were used to assess the noise levels at the key production areas were noise was high risk. The measured sound levels allowed the employees daily dose to be calculated and a risk assessment is undertaken for each area under assessment. We generated an action plan to ensure appropriate noise control via technical and operational means.
