How much does an occupational noise survey cost?
The cost of an occupational noise survey in the UK typically ranges from £1200 to over £2,000, depending on several key factors:
- Size and complexity of the workplace
- More machinery, areas, or processes = more time and equipment needed.
- Number of employees to assess
- Personal dosimetry for multiple workers increases both time and equipment costs.
- Shift work or 24/7 operations
- Assessments outside regular hours can raise costs.
- Level of detail required
- Basic compliance vs. engineering control planning vs. legal or insurance purposes.
- Consultant’s qualifications and reputation
- Specialist occupational hygienists or acoustic consultants may charge more but offer higher accuracy and legal defensibility.
- Location
- Travel costs may be added if the consultant is not local.
