Acoustic Safety Conference - SECC Glasgow 2006

The National Physical Laboratory and Acoustic Safety Programme have joined forces to create the UK 's first research and testing organisation focusing specifically on health & safety risks associated with exposure to noise via telephone systems.

The NPL/ASP research partnership was launched at the Acoustic Safety Conference held November 2005.

Following the success of that conference, the Acoustic Safety Programme will be hosting another Acoustic Safety Conference later this eyar.

This will be held in Glasgow later this year where leading experts from around the World and the ASP-NPL Research Advisory Board will be presenting papers on and discussing the impact of the Control of Noise at Wok Act 2005 on our UK call centre sector, the 'National Definitions of Acoustic Shock' and research issues and plans relating to the existence, cause and effect of this occupational hazard.

Details of the proposed event and the content can be accessed via the ASP website
