The legal duties of employers and employees with respect to noise and vibration have become significantly more onerous in recent years. Vibration is the most common cause of Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) and where appropriate, employers are required to have a survey of tool vibration levels conducted by a competent person.
SgurrEnergy’s Noise and Vibration team are highly competent in both noise and vibration surveys.
Machinery noise often has its origins in structural vibration. Hence the mitigation of environmental noise often lies in treating the vibration. Vibration levels and frequencies can also be key to machinery health monitoring and fault diagnosis.
SgurrEnergy staff have long experience in measuring vibration levels and vibration transmission paths, on large and complex machinery installations. We can advise on mounting systems, flexible pipe bellows, and other measures, where appropriate, to control vibration, both to protect the machinery itself, and to prevent the vibration exciting airborne noise, which then escapes into the environment.
