Noise can be a problem in many workplaces, not just those that use power tools or machinery. It is a preventable workplace hazard that can lead to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).
When correctly scoped and applied, noise testing can quickly and accurately determine if noise is a health hazard and what measures can be taken to ensure your workplace is safe.
Whatever your problem, we can design a practical and effective solution that works with your operation.
Noise may be an unnoticed risk, so it is important to assess noise, even if you think it is not a hazard. Here are some things that might indicate you have a problem
- The noise generated by your operations is louder than traffic on a busy road.
- People have to raise their voice, to be heard by someone that is one metre away.
- At the end of a shift, an employee needs to increase the volume of a radio or TV that others have been able to hear.
- You experience a ringing in your ears or have muffled hearing.
