The firm now has the ability to provide new training courses for workplace noise risk assessment; consultancy for risk assessment and on-site noise monitoring.

This Certificate course provides a recognised course of education and training to enable persons to carry out workplace noise assessments in a competent manner, as required by legislation.

Attendees will take the certificate at the Shorcontrol Safety Accredited Centre in Naas, Kildare.

Attendance at the Centre is usually for four days, plus the examination day, which includes a practical test.

The course will be of particular interest to companies in the Manufacturing; Pharmaceutical, Construction, Food & Beverage and Local Authority sectors.
