The River Erne Hydroelectric Scheme in County Donegal incorporates three hydro electric power-generation facilities where the effective management of workplace noise is important for controlling employee noise exposure. Allegro Acoustics was commissioned by ESB Generation to complete a detailed occupational noise assessment at the Cliff, Clady and Cathleen’s Falls Hydroelectric Power Stations in Donegal.
Comprehensive noise measurements were undertaken throughout the operational areas of the power stations to evaluate employee exposure and identify plant, equipment and locations associated with elevated noise levels during normal power-generation activities.
The measurement data was used to develop detailed workplace noise maps, providing ESB Generation with a clear visual representation of noise levels throughout 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 personnel working within affected areas.
The completed assessment provided ESB Generation with a detailed understanding of workplace noise across the hydroelectric facilities and the practical information required to support the ongoing management of occupational noise exposure.
