Music and entertainment

The Sound Advice publication[46] provides practical advice on controlling noise at work in the music and entertainment sectors. It identifies good practice to help avoid the harmful effects of prolonged exposure to noise.

The guidance has been developed and supported by stakeholders in music and entertainment in Britain, including Environmental Health Officers and the Health and Safety Executive.

The aim of Sound Advice is to control or reduce exposure to noise at work without stopping people from enjoying music, whether you are an employer, freelancer or employee.
