• noise at work, e.g. in relation to European Directive 2003/10/EC, which is based on different indicators:
  • limit exposure values for workers to noise: exposure level L EX,8h = 87 dB (A) and peak sound pressure pcrête = 200 Pa or 140 dB (C) ref. 20 μPa /li>
  • higher exposure values for workers to noise triggering action...

Noise reduction of a technical facility

Details

Reducing the noise of technical facities quite often motivates the recourse to a company specializing in soundproofing such as ITS, to prevent or treat nuisances linked to hardware located:

• outdoor e.g. in relation to energy production, refrigeration, waste disposal or in relation to more or less specific production or processing activities; the sound propagation outdoor is then at stake and can be reduced either "at the source" e.g. by means of enclosures (canopies) and silencers, or by...

In terms of safety at work, it is a question of protecting personnel (e.g. those working in supervision or maintenance) from excessive exposure to noise, which could (eventually: irreversibly) damage their hearing and also cause accidents (potentially...
