Description: Industrial noise is a major health hazard: a hazard which after the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, management cannot neglect. This practical handbook examines in detail the measurement, isolation and treatment of noise and vibration problems. Based on practical industrial experience of leading consultants in the field, the book examines noise problems associated with industrial plants and gives full details of the treatment of noise problems and their avoidance through design, planning and maintenance. The book also gives comprehensive coverage of the necessary legal, medical and scientific background considerations and is extensively illustrated with a full bibliography. A section on acoustics terminology and a substantial number of detailed case histories are also included.
