Train Whistle Noise - White Paper WebinarTrain whistle noise and its adverse impact on communities has been a growing industry and community concern driven by more people living near rail corridors, more rail services (including at night), and a greater understanding and acceptance of the adverse health impacts of environmental noise. Dr Todd Bentley from Holistic Systems and Assurance will present a white paper this Tuesday that highlights some of the key challenges
facing industry and the community, and recommends possible approaches for industry moving forward. Join Todd for a live webinar on Tuesday, 16 March at 1PM (AEDT) to: * Learn more about the broader issues facing industry
* Understand national and international approaches
* Appreciate competing risks and requirements (whole system view)
* Look at options available for industry moving forward.
