Lir Chocolates operates a food manufacturing facility in Navan, County Meath, incorporating a range of production and technical areas where the effective management of workplace noise is important for controlling employee noise exposure.
Allegro Acoustics was commissioned by Lir Chocolates to complete a detailed occupational noise assessment in accordance with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations. Comprehensive noise measurements were undertaken throughout the production and technical areas to evaluate employee exposure and identify machinery, processes and locations associated with elevated noise levels.
The measurement data was used to develop detailed workplace noise maps, providing a clear visual representation of noise levels across the facility and identifying higher-noise areas requiring additional controls. Allegro Acoustics also reviewed hearing protection requirements and provided recommendations to support the selection of appropriate hearing protection for employees working within affected areas.
The completed assessment provided Lir Chocolates with a detailed understanding of workplace noise across the facility and the practical information required to support the ongoing management of employee noise exposure.
