Sound exposure of staff at a conservatorie

The Acoustics Group has collaborated with the Royal Academy of Music since the enforcement of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations in 2008. This year the work has focused on sound exposure of the staff. Monitoring in the form of dosimetry was undertaken during practice, rehearsal and performance for eleven members of staff. In addition, the auditions for five instrument groups was measured. The dataset has been analysed to determine compliance with the regulations.
