Hear about Cirrus Research - long time supporter of Dragon Boat event and highest fund raiser crew in 2022 raising over £2,000 for St Catherine's. Wow! {Desk: Venkatesh. Grace etc Richard Gr. Thanks & Media Pauline}
With a range of hardware and software distributed throught the world there is plenty to HEAR (and learn) about Cirrus Research: a world leader in noise measurement instruments who is committed to helping people protect their hearing.
Established in 1970, Cirrus Research started life as a limited company that sold primarily within the UK. Fast-forward more than 50 years, and it has expanded its operation worldwide, serving customers across six continents and more than 100 countries. Cirrus Research is made up of three companies and brands, each of which is supported by its own sales, calibration and product despatch teams. The three are all supported by our central marketing, finance and HR, technical support, research and development, and production teams
The Rotarian Cavaliers were fortunate enough to have Craig Storey give us a talk on what Cirrus research of Hunmanby do. We were very impressed to see a local company deliver and produce noise measurement meters to use both in Industry and domestically, thereby assisting companies to adhere and meet legislation regarding noise Levels.
The implications of not adhering are that the work force could actually sue if they develop hearing loss attributed to unsafe work place noise. In addition to this, recruitment and retention of staff could be an issue if management disregard the health of staff.
Noise pollution can become an unbearable nuisance and an irreversible loss of hearing can result, again causing another raft of problems for individuals
The use of noise meters can also be used domestically to ascertain unsafe noise pollution and to use the findings to deal with the noise nuisance.
Health risks associated with excessive noise levels can include interruption of speech and social interaction, disturbed concentration ,Insomnia, hormonal and cardiovascular issues stress causing mental health issues.
We were most impressed to see a local company also competing with international companies and providing excellent products and services to clients whilst also flying the British/ Yorkshire flag.
The Rotarians were far better informed following this most interesting talk, and we gave Craig our appreciation in the normal way.
