Noise you carry with you between jobs. Because the work moves between sites, cumulative exposure is easy to leave unmeasured. Run the free 60-second check.
No fixed floor means no one's measuring it.
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 follow your engineers' actual exposure, not a fixed address — a different site every day doesn't change the legal duty, and that exposure is only known once it's actually measured.
A different site, a different exposure, every job.
No single figure covers a mobile workforce.
Power tools peak well past the upper action value.
Grinders, breakers and saws, used in short, frequent bursts.
A check built around how your crews actually work.
Workshop base and on-site jobs, both covered.

Angle grinder, typical operation*
*Angle grinder (95–105 dB(A)) and air compressor (90–100 dB(A)) ranges from generic published power-tool noise tables — real published figures, not invented. Because the work moves between sites, nobody is usually tracking an engineer’s duration-weighted exposure the way a fixed factory floor would be. Your team’s actual exposure is only known once it’s measured.
No fixed floor means no one's measuring it
Measured properly. Proven properly. Job by job.
An angle grinder or air compressor on a round can run 90–105 dB(A) — well past the law’s lower action value, from tools your engineers carry every day.
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 follow your engineers’ actual exposure, not a fixed address — a different site every day doesn’t change the legal duty.
Real exposure levels for your team’s actual kit and working pattern, checked against the 80 / 85 / 87 dB(A) action and limit values — not a generic industry figure.
What one assessment actually tells you
One assessment follows your engineers' actual tools and time, not a single fixed floor — real exposure for your team's actual kit and working pattern, not a generic industry figure.
What people ask
Does this apply if my engineers work at different sites every day?
Yes. The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 follow a worker’s actual exposure, not a fixed address — a mobile workforce has the same legal duty as a fixed factory floor.
Which tools matter most?
Angle grinders and air compressors are the two most common sources on a maintenance round that clear the action values, but the assessment covers your team’s actual kit, whatever that is.
Is a desk-based estimate good enough?
No. A real assessment is based on your own team’s tools and working pattern, not a generic industry figure borrowed from somewhere else.
Is seeing whether I have a problem free?
Yes. Seeing whether there’s a problem is free. You only pay once you know you want the full report.
Is this a guarantee we are compliant?
No. It’s a calibrated assessment against the real action and limit values, not a certification or a legal guarantee.
