There are currently no known outstanding effects for the The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
Regulation 2(1)
1. The daily personal noise exposure level, LEP,d, which corresponds to LEX,8h defined in international standard ISO 1999: 1990 clause 3.6, is expressed in decibels and is ascertained using the formula:E+W+S
where—
T e is the duration of the person's working day, in seconds;
T0 is 28,800 seconds (8 hours); and
L Aeq,Teis the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level, as defined in ISO 1999: 1990 clause 3.5, in decibels, that represents the sound the person is exposed to during the working day.
2. If the work is such that the daily exposure consists of two or more periods with different sound levels, the daily personal noise exposure level (LEP,d) for the combination of periods is ascertained using the formula:E+W+S
where—
n is the number of individual periods in the working day;
T i is the duration of period i;
(LAeq,T)i is the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level that represents the sound the person is exposed to during period i; and
is equal to Te, the duration of the person's working day, in seconds.
Regulation 2(1)
The weekly personal noise exposure, LEP,w, which corresponds to
defined in international standard ISO 1999: 1990 clause 3.6 (note 2) for a nominal week of five working days, is expressed in decibels and is ascertained using the formula:
where—
m is the number of working days on which the person is exposed to noise during a week; and
(LEP,d)i is the LEP,d for working day i.
Regulation 2(1)
Peak sound pressure level, LCpeak, is expressed in decibels and is ascertained using the formula:
where—
p Cpeak is the maximum value of the C-weighted sound pressure, in Pascals (Pa), to which a person is exposed during the working day; and
p0 is 20 µPa.
