Noise exposure risk assessment and noise reduction at workplaces facilitated by the use of information technology achievements
Conclusions
Companies can present the information of a noise
survey easy accessible to their employees in the intranet
and to authorities on the extranet and keep record of
improvements. Information layers can be added with follow
up on noise mitigation measures.
In Sweden an interactive training tool “Ljud och oljud” has
been developed. Using this tool will facilitate the noise
control actions made at a company.
Acknowledgement
The permission from Södra Cell Tofte in Norway to present
data from their noise survey is greatfully acknowledged.
