GMGN2460 Iss 1 provided guidance on workplace noise and vibration legislation. The guidance provided overlapped and conflicted with the legal guidance provided on these regulations by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The amount of work required to make the guidance fit for purpose as a Guidance Note was disproportionate compared to any benefit so obtained. The Guidance Note has been withdrawn, with the legislation and (external) guidance that are of relevance to railway organisations set out in a Technical Note TN2310 issue 1: Compliance with noise and vibration legislation to maintain visibility.
