Print halls are some of the most consistently under-assessed floors we see. Run the free 60-second check.
One number hides the real picture.
A typical web press shift settles at or past the upper action value. One calibrated assessment tells you exactly where your press floor stands, and that figure is only known once it's actually measured.
A press room runs loud, all day, every day.
Continuous exposure that a short spot-check can miss.
Packaging and conveyor lines add their own noise.
Rarely just one machine — usually several running together.
Real figures for your own press hall.
Not a generic print-industry average.

*Illustrative settle value for a web press shift, shown against the real Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 action and limit values (80 / 85 / 87 dB(A)). Your own floor is only known once it’s actually measured — that’s what the assessment is for.
One number hides the real picture
Clear numbers. Solid evidence. Every run, every shift.
A web press at full speed runs loud for as long as the job takes.
Print halls are some of the most consistently under-assessed floors we see.
Real exposure levels for your own site, zone by zone, checked against the 80 / 85 / 87 dB(A) action and limit values — not a generic industry figure.
What one assessment actually tells you
One calibrated assessment tells you exactly where your press floor stands — real exposure levels for your own site, zone by zone, not a generic industry figure.
What people ask
Is the press the only machine that counts?
No. The web press is usually the loudest source on a print floor, but the assessment measures every zone, including packaging and finishing lines.
Does run length change the assessment?
Yes. A print hall running loud for as long as the job takes is exactly the kind of continuous exposure the assessment is built to measure accurately, not just a snapshot.
Is a desk-based estimate good enough?
No. A real assessment is based on your own press floor, not a generic print-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 my floor is compliant?
No. It’s a calibrated assessment against the real action and limit values, not a certification or a legal guarantee.
