What We Do
(and how we do it)
Our Services
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:
NOISE DOSIMETRY: Wireless, personal noise dosimeters will calculate employees’ time-weighted-average (TWA) noise exposure. Measurements can be projected for extended work shifts if necessary.
TARGETED SOUND LEVEL MEASUREMENTS: A handheld, type 1 Sound Level Meter will capture machine or activity-specific decibel information throughout all areas of production.
HEARING PROTECTOR ASSESSMENT: Evaluation of the currently available hearing protection with respect to noise levels observed during the survey.
REVIEW & RECOMMENDATIONS: Survey results will be analyzed and summarized in both raw data and detailed written analysis to ensure OSHA compliance and employee safety. Noise level data is color-coded for ease-of-interpretation.
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. Additional fees may apply.

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
Territory
Noise Survey Solutions services the areas highlighted in green on the map below. This territory is based on single-day survey availability, but can be extended to include the entire United States for clients with multiple facilities or more comprehensive noise monitoring needs.
