Keep scrolling. The mark you just saw is still there — it has become the floor.
At 80 dB(A) you have to assess the risk, tell your people what it is, train them, and make hearing protection available to anyone who asks for it. This is the band people cross without noticing, because a room at 80 does not sound alarming at all.
At 85 dB(A) it stops being optional. Protection has to be provided and worn, zones have to be marked, health surveillance starts — and you need a plan to bring the noise itself down rather than just handing out plugs.
87 dB(A) is the exposure limit value, and it is measured at the ear — so it counts the protection your people are actually wearing, fitted the way they actually fit it. Not what the box on the wall claims.
One line warming up and the compressors on. Nobody would call this a noisy room yet, and the readings agree — this is the quietest the floor will be all day.
The whole shift end to end — then the line rolls up into your Care Plan.
From £895 + VAT a year, fixed for the full four years, with 25% off the first assessment when you sign up for the 4-year Care Plan.
Floor mapping turns your workplace into a landscape of noise — the loud machines rise as peaks, the quiet corners settle low and blue — so you can see at a glance where it needs work. It's a chargeable add-on to your Care Plan, from £495 + VAT by the size of your floor.
Sign up and everything lives in one private place — your reports, your 3D & 2D noise maps, your advice notes as a tick-off action list, and your certificates. Not a folder of emailed PDFs you can never find.
