  • Vibration
  • Emissions
  • N/A

• Check with the local Environmental Health Officer to determine if there are any noise restrictions on the site, especially if night or weekend works will be taking place. Bear in mind that even if our works are internal, the noise caused by MEWPS or FLT moving around, material being dropped into skips, even talking and laughing can travel at night and cause disturbance. It is easier to work with EHO and minimise the opportunity for complaints than risk a section 60 notice which would restrict our working hours. Generators should be super-silenced and not run overnight if possible. Consider avoiding diesel plant & muffling reversing alarms to minimise noise.
