Risk assessment of workplace noise
Our services
The employer's obligations under the German Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance on Noise and Vibration (LärmVibrationsArbSchV) include assessing the risk posed to employees by noise if these employees are exposed or might be exposed to noise. We will prepare a workplace noise risk assessment for you and perform all the necessary measurements. Based on this assessment, we will show you potential obligations arising from the Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance on Noise and Vibration and work with you to identify the steps that need to be taken. In addition, we will handle the noise-related aspects of any inquiries from the Employer's Accident Liability Insurance Association (Berufsgenossenschaft). This will enable you to meet your obligations as an employer without having to invest in personnel and additional time.
Your advantages
- Our services will enable you to meet all of the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance on Noise and Vibration and protect your employees from hearing loss, including over the long term.
- You will receive the best possible legal protection since we keep track of all changes in the laws relating to workplace noise, taking these into account when we carry out our risk assessments, and informing you of them promptly.
Our strengths
We are a DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 accredited measurement institute for the areas of "neighborhood noise" and "workplace noise".

We keep the risk assessments we have prepared in our archives for a period of 30 years.
