Peter Wilson, technical director at INVC, says: ""Most noise reports are not worth the paper they are written on (to paraphrase an HSE survey) and industry currently wastes a fortune on assessments that are often little more than placebo check-box 'write only report' exercises."
According to INVC, the solution is to use the benchmark Digital Noise Assessment (DNA) template documentation that it has made available free under an open source licence. This high quality report structure (in a template Word document complete with technical notes and graphic) eliminates much of the time consuming and tedious process of report writing.
The benefits include faster reporting and benchmark quality, as well as format consistency over time which makes updates and the extraction of historical data easier, saving time and money. The action plan format also facilitates the implementation of recommendations.
