Synopsis: |
In April 2008 the existing Regulations protecting workers in the music and entertainment sectors from exposure to excessive noise were replaced by the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 (the Noise Regulations). For other industries, these Regulations have been in force since April 2006. The European Directive (2003/10EC) on which the Regulations are based allowed the music and entertainment sectors a two-year transitional period. This book contains practical guidelines on the control of noise at work in music and entertainment, including concert halls and theatres, amplified live music venues, pubs/clubs and studios. It has been put together by representatives from a wide range of music and entertainment sectors in Britain, including professional representatives of Environmental Health Officers. |
