Abstract This report presents the findings of a survey of employers and others undertaken in 1991/92 to assess the level of understanding of, and compliance with the Noise at Work Regulations 1989 (see CIS 90-21). The study shows that while much has been done by industry to understand the requirements of the Regulations, there appears to be a noticeable gap between knowledge and action, particularly in smaller firms. The report indicates what action HSE intends to take in the light of the findings.
