New HSE research into Noise & Vibration published in the last 12 months

Three major HSE research reports have been published in the last 12 months that investigate workplace noise and vibration problems.

These research reports are listed below:

All three reports can be found on the HSE website.

There is also industry guidance from the Mineral Products Association, on the control of health risks from static concrete mixers. This guidance can be found in the MPA guide to cleaning concrete pan mixers (.pdf).Â
In addition to these major reports, HSE also put a spotlight on the work done by our scientists on the benefits of selecting suitable grinding discs and backing pads when using angle grinders, which can be found in the 2023 science review (.pdf).

Calling all health volunteers

Are you aged between 30 and 50 and have suspected noise-induced hearing loss or noise exposure?

HSE is seeking participants to take part in our noise exposure study. The study aims to assess if we can see the consequences of a person’s noise exposure in MRI scans of their brain and nerves. 

 Â

Participants will be invited to attend a two hour screening session, where someone will measure your hearing and ask you questions about your past noise exposure. If eligible, we will invite you to come back and have an MRI scan, which will last approximately 1.5 hours.Â

Â

Sessions will take place at the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre in Nottingham. Participants of the study will be paid an inconvenience allowance of £10 per hour and will also be reimbursed up to £15 per appointment for travel costs.
