How prepared are you for the “Noise At Work
Directive”?
 The
European Union’s Noise at Work Directive is due to take effect
on the 6th April 2006. This lays down new rules for protecting
hearing and specifies the minimum health and safety requirements
regarding the exposure of workers to risks from excessive noise.
The Directive specifies levels
that you need to be aware of. The key ones are:
- If noise exposure is above
80dB(A), the employer must take action to protect staff
- The weighted average noise
exposure level measured over a working day must not exceed
85dB(A).
- It is not illegal to work in
environments with noise levels exceeding these levels but it
must be for shorter time periods.
So if you have members of staff
who are exposed to ‘uncomfortable’ noise levels where noise
exposure is high, you need to consider taking action to reduce
their noise exposure or reducing working hours to compensate.
Corrective action could be a combination of
- Improving the office
environment with screening or other noise absorbency
techniques
- Providing amplifiers that limit noise
exposure for staff using headsets following a re-examination
of the equipment that they are using.
The major headset manufacturers,
GN Netcom, Plantronics, Clement Clarke Communications and
Sennheiser, have all been working on solutions to help you meet
the new Directive.

Cleaning
up your Act!!! |
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommend that you change
your headset consumables (ear cushions and microphone
covers) every 6 MONTHS!!! Are you aware of this?
- Do you have staff
that ‘share’ or inherit headsets from their
predecessors?
- Do you clean them
up?
- Do you have high
sickness levels relating to ear and throat
complaints, colds that circulate round the office?
Replacing headset
consumables can help minimize these complaints. If you
would like to know what consumables are available for
your headsets call or email us for your free accessory
listing. Our specialist advisors will be happy to help
you!

Customer anecdote....
Mike Dalton, International
Project Manager for DMS Controls Ltd writes
 |
While in Ethiopia our client, the
Sheraton Hotel in Addis Ababa Ethiopia, approached us to
see if we could obtain some new telephone headsets as
the current ones had failed. We
spoke to the manufacturers who gave us names of two
suppliers in UK. The first one we contacted proved very
unhelpful wanting me to send all kind of details before
they would be prepared to even give me price and
availability. Needless to say they did not get the
order.
I then phoned Chris at Communications
Solutions UK Limited who proved very helpful and put up
with my lack of technical expertise. With his advice and
using digital photos of the headsets and switchboard he
quickly selected the correct units and produced a
quotation. We immediately ordered five units which were
sent by DHL to Ethiopia arriving safely and quickly.
The client was very impressed with the
service and subsequently placed an order for an
additional five units. I was very impressed with the
attention paid to ensuring we got the correct units as
this was not a very large order in terms of value but
was important to the client in order to keep the
switchboard of this busy hotel operating
 efficiently.
Working in Africa is very challenging
as obtaining spares and technical assistance is
difficult and you need to have knowledgeable suppliers
as mistakes can be very expensive to rectify.
When I returned to the UK a few weeks
later I brought with me some real Ethiopian coffee beans
which had been picked and roasted a few days previously
as a thank you to the staff at Communications Solutions
UK for all their help. |
