Remote sites don't get assessed any less often just because they're remote. Run the free 60-second check before you spec anything.
One number hides the real picture.
A jaw crusher runs loud, continuous, and often for a full shift at a time — and a remote site doesn't get assessed any less often just because it's remote.
Crushing and screening plant runs loud, continuously.
An outdoor site doesn’t mean the exposure is lower.
Mobile plant adds its own moving source of noise.
Exposure that changes with where the work actually happens.
Real figures for your own site.
Not a single number borrowed from a different quarry.

*Illustrative settle value for a jaw crusher shift, shown against the real action and limit values above. This is a sample, not your site — your own floor is only known once it’s actually measured.
One number hides the real picture
Real numbers. Real evidence. UK-wide, site by site.
A jaw crusher runs loud, continuous, and often for a full shift at a time.
Remote sites don't get assessed any less often just because they're remote.
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 assessment covers the whole site, properly, wherever it is — not a general figure for the industry, but your own crusher, your own zones, your own numbers.
What people ask
Does this apply to a remote or small site?
Yes. The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 apply to any workplace, remote or not — the location doesn’t change the duty.
Is the crusher the only thing that counts?
No. Screening, conveyors and mobile plant all add to a full shift’s exposure, and the assessment covers all of it zone by zone.
Is a desk-based estimate good enough?
No. A real assessment is based on your own site and your own plant, not a generic industry figure.
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 site is compliant?
No. It’s a calibrated assessment against the real action and limit values, not a certification or a legal guarantee.
