For safety reasons, we only use angle grinders that have a KickBack-Stop

Danish Soundproofing's policy is that all tools must be used with care and caution. All personnel go through a thorough review of high-risk tools before using them.

Dansk Lydisolering has so far had no recorded injuries while carrying out tasks. Should an injury occur, the injury will be registered and a future action plan will be executed to avoid future injuries.

There is also first aid equipment installed in all cars.

There may be tasks where it is necessary to carry out soundproofing work with tools that produce high heat. For example. angle grinder that produces a lot of sparks. Therefore, we have implemented special rules when carrying out hot work.

Education requirements

All our employees who perform hot work in the form of spark-producing working environments have undergone a course for "hot work".

The course they have gone through is called "Course regarding spark-producing tasks" and the course is renewed every 4 years.

The certificate is valid in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

Fire fighting equipment

Dansk Lydisolering makes sure to bring the necessary extinguishing equipment in accordance with the Danish Fire and Security Institute's guide 10, parts 1, 2 and 3, when "hot work" is carried out on a task.

Fire watch

For some tasks, it may be necessary to establish a fire watch when the workplace cannot be adequately secured and there is a risk of fire. This assessment is carried out from time to time.

Any fire watch may not have work functions at the same time as the fire watch function; The fire watch must also be maintained during lunch breaks etc.

For tasks where a fire watch is required, this must have access to the necessary extinguishing material.

At Dansk Lydisolering it is important that the necessary safety measures are taken when it comes to personal safety equipment. Therefore, our employees always have:

Safety footwear (EN 345), which must be firm.

Work clothes that are safe for the required task. Among other things. for cutting tasks, long work trousers must be worn. With a customer, we follow the applicable rules there.

For tasks with a risk of falling into the water, life jackets (EN ISO 12402-275 KN) are used and for tasks where the water temperature is below a locally set temperature limit, a life jacket is used for work. (SOLAS regulations/EN ISO 15927.

Other necessary safety equipment is applied if necessary for tasks that require this. This assessment is made from task to task.

Dansk Lydisolering has prepared these safety measures to avoid any accidents.

Dansk Lydisolering always focuses on risk assessment of the individual work task and supervision. This is done to always achieve the most optimal security.

All tasks must therefore go through an assessment of the risk level before starting. If the risk assessment shows that tasks contain high-risk elements, a more thorough risk assessment must be prepared. This can be through the template "Safe Job Analysis".

The safety assessment containing the "Safe Job Analysis" before start-up is always sent to the customer for approval.



For tasks with low-risk elements, a Toolbox Talk will be carried out, where the employees are informed about the safety and scope of the task.
