Good practice guidance for controlling noise at offshore installations

UK regulations that apply to offshore installations require the control of noise to be managed where it affects the workers at work and rest. They recognise the importance of managing the hazards associated with noise, not only from the perspective of worker protection and welfare but also for the longevity of the plant, its processes and its structure

This good practice publication has been developed to inform persons involved in managing noise issues on UK offshore installations. This includes new designs, operational installations, major refurbishments and maintenance activities.
