Environmental vibration in focus
A one day meeting on 13th March 2007 will discuss the latest revisions to BS6472:1992 and current measurement projects.
The measurement and assessment of human response to environmental vibration has always been a difficult subject, and most practitioners have referred to British Standard BS6472:1992 for guidance on measurements and interpretation This standard has been in revision for some years, and a draft for public comment was issued in August last year

IOA seminar tackles subject of vibration exposure
The Institute of Acoustic is organising a one-day seminar on the 'Control of Vibration at Work Regulations', implementing the Physical Agents Directive in the UK, that came into force in July 2005.
Now in two parts (split between blast-induced vibration and other sources), the proposed new standard uses new frequency weightings and assessment methods more in line with current research.
The Institute of Acoustics will hold a one day meeting on 13th March 2007, organised by the Measurement and Instrumentation Group of the IOA to discuss the latest revisions to the standard and current measurement projects.
This meeting, to be held at the Society of Chemical Industry, London, is a prime opportunity for consultants, environmental health practitioners, planners and instrumentation manufacturers to update themselves with the latest thinking, as the draft should become a standard by the time of the meeting.
Speakers are drawn from members of the standards committee, from contractors involved in current DEFRA projects, and experienced consultants in the field of environmental vibration.
The meeting will also provide an excellent occasion to network with all the key movers and shakers in the industry, and early booking is advised. Request free introductory details about products from Institute of Acoustics ...
