Noise Monitoring for OSHA Compliance

A thorough assessment of sound levels throughout a workplace, known as a noise survey, is the cornerstone of an effective hearing conservation program. Noise Survey Solutions prides itself on exceeding federal noise monitoring regulations; ensuring an accurate and comprehensive depiction of hazardous noise sources throughout your facility. 

All of our surveys are conducted by board-certified audiologist, Dr. Luke Grossi.

Methods include:

  • Time-weighted-average (TWA) noise exposure measurement using 10 state-of-the-art personal noise dosimeters

  • Targeted sound level measurements throughout all areas of the facility using a type-1 sound level meter with integrated octave-band analysis.

  • Review of results in comparison with OSHA 85dB Action Level and 90dB PEL

    • Exposures can be projected based on extended work shifts if necessary

noise survey reporting

All of our noise surveys include a written report explaining our findings. Dosimetry and sound level meter results are color-coded and displayed in a chart for ease of interpretation. Our noise survey reports are designed to outline federal regulation requirements (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95) and also recommend "best practice" hearing conservation measures. When results from the study indicate noise exposure in excess of the action level, a hearing protector assessment will be included in the report to ensure adequate employee protection.

 

noise Mapping

Noise levels obtained during the survey can be plotted on a site map for easy identification of hazardous noise sources.

Custom Hearing Conservation Program Development

Based on findings from the noise survey, we will work with you to develop a custom hearing conservation program designed to maximize employee hearing protection and minimize company liability. Program objectives include:

  • Identify employees that must be included in a Hearing Conservation Program

  • Identify areas where hearing protection and/or engineering controls are required

  • Recommend appropriate hearing protection type and Noise Reduction Rating (NRR)

  • Document administrative/engineering controls

  • Outline employee hearing conservation training
