Noise pollution is not just of concern for residents and others located near a noisy worksite. Hazardous noise exposure in the workplace is statistically a major cause of hearing loss and associated issues (including mental health concerns) for workers in several sectors, including building and construction, industrial, civil, defence, and mining.
Any noise level exposure of over 85 decibels (dB) averaged over eight hours is considered to be hazardous and may result in temporary or permanent noise-induced hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), or even instantaneous acoustic trauma.
Managing workplace noise is imperative and this can be achieved at Barriers Plus with our Noise Reduction Barriers on hire in Victoria.
Our versatile fence sound barrier solutions are also known as acoustic blankets or sonic quilts. They are lightweight barriers that combine both noise-absorbing and sound-blocking technologies to mitigate worksite noise for the benefit of workers, passersby, and locals. They are fast and easy to assemble and disassemble and may be hung from frameworks, scaffolding, temporary fencing, or any other structure to which they are attachable with cable ties, hooks, lacing, mechanical fixing, and more. They may also be overlapped or double-stacked to suit your unique needs.
These noise mitigation solutions are ideal for use on:
- Public works
- Night works
- Construction sites
- Earthworks and roadworks
- Noise reflection control
- Plant equipment and generators
- Air conditioners
- EPA noise-restricted areas
- Sporting facilities
- Public events (e.g. concerts, festivals)
