As well as the common law of negligence, the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 are the main pieces of law that dictate safe working practice in noisy workplaces. Both young and older members of the workforce can suffer hearing loss due to excessive noise at work. Noise may come from machinery, air hoses, drills, grinding equipment, presses and all manner of industrial equipment.
