Control of
Noise at Work Regulations 2005
From 6th April 2008 the Control of Noise at Work Regulations have
been in effect for the music and entertainment sector. A two year
transitional period was granted to enable practical guidance to be
developed for the wide-range of musical entertainment available
today. For all other sectors the Regulations have been applicable
since 2006.
The music and entertainment sector is defined in the Noise
Regulations as “all workplaces where live or recorded music is
played in a restaurant, bar, public house, discotheque or nightclub,
or alongside live music or a live dramatic or dance performance”.
The Regulations set lower exposure limits than those currently
applied under the 1989 Regulations and place certain duties on
employers to:
• Assess the risk to employees of noise at work
• Take action to reduce noise exposure
• Provide employees with hearing protection (only where the noise
cannot be reduced)
• Provide instruction and training to employees
• Carry out health surveillance (where there is a risk to health)
All premises – especially those playing amplified music at noise
levels above 80db – are encouraged to undertake a risk assessment
and identify how staff exposure can be reduced.
