The same Care Plan, built around your actual hero machine
A plasma cutter, a baler, a web press and a jaw crusher don’t put noise into a floor the same way. The assessment is the same rigorous process every time — HSE-aligned, checked against the 80 / 85 / 87 dB(A) CNAW 2005 action and limit values — but the page for your sector leads with the machine and the numbers you actually recognise.
Engineering & Fabrication
83dB(A) settle
A plasma cutter running a full shift puts real, sustained noise into that bay.

Warehousing & Logistics
81dB(A) settle
A baler cycling on the bay is loud in bursts — easy to underestimate across a full shift.
View sector page →
Food & Drink
82dB(A) settle
A bottling line runs for hours without stopping — and so does the noise it makes.
View sector page →
Automotive
84dB(A) settle
An impact wrench is loud in short bursts — dozens of times a shift, every bay.
View sector page →
Printing & Packaging
86dB(A) settle
A web press at full speed runs loud for as long as the job takes.
View sector page →
Plastics & Moulding
85dB(A) settle
A granulator grinding down plastic is one of the sharpest noise sources on a moulding floor.
View sector page →
Recycling & Waste
87dB(A) settle
A primary shredder tearing through waste is relentless — and so is the noise.
View sector page →
Marine & Shipbuilding
80dB(A) settle
A needle-gun descaler on a hull is loud, sharp, and often worked in a confined space.
View sector page →
Quarrying & Minerals
88dB(A) settle
A jaw crusher runs loud, continuous, and often for a full shift at a time.
View sector page →
Agriculture
100+dB(A), feeding time (HSE)
An intensively-housed shed at feeding time hits 100 dB(A) or more — HSE’s own figure.

Utilities
25%NIHL prevalence (US CDC)
Generators, pumps and substations — no UK dB(A) figure exists yet, which is exactly what we measure.
View sector page →
Maintenance Contractors
95–105dB(A), angle grinder
Noise you carry with you between jobs — easy for cumulative exposure to go unmeasured.
View sector page →
Entertainment & Events
96–107dB, audience only
Sound engineers, security and bar staff — their exposure is the real legal duty, not the audience guidance.
View sector page →
Construction
94dB(A) settle
A road breaker striking concrete is one of the loudest moments on any site.
View sector page →
Manufacturing
91dB(A) settle
A power press stamping metal cycles fast, and the impact noise adds up shift after shift.

Also measured, not yet published - One sector, held for clean footage
Construction and Manufacturing are now live above — both had their hero clip regenerated clean on 2026-10-20. Woodworking & Joinery is the one sector still waiting: every available take so far has shown fire on QC, and no clean clip has been generated for it yet.
Woodworking & Joinery
Coming soon — held pending clean hero footage.
