Noise Employers Responsibilities
Under the Noise at Work Regulations 1989 where there is a risk of hearing damage all employers are obliged to try and reduce noise levels to the lowest reasonably possible. These responsibilities fall into three categories:

General responsibilities

Noise levels above 90 dB(A) or Peak Action level (200 pascals)

Noise levels above 85 dB(A) but below 90 dB(A)
