NOISE ABATEMENT ACT. 1960
INDUSTRIAL NOISE
In response to the recommendations of the Committee on the problems of
Noise, the Ministry of Housing and Local Government issued Circular 22/67
giving advice about the reduction of noise in factories, together with a booklet
"Noises and the Worker".
The Ministry of Labour has agreed that H.M. Factory Inspectors will make
their knowledge and experience of the problem available to Local Authorities
and will help them as far as possible in dealing with Industrial Noise. In London,
the Greater London Council's Scientific Branch is also prepared to assist in
taking noise measurements and giving advice-
The Minister's recommendation that certain training should be made available
to officers dealing with the problem of noise is being met through the agency of
part-time courses at the South East London Technical College for public health
inspectors.
