Occupational Noise & Vibration Assessments
Protect hearing and meet workplace standards.
Overview
What we do
We conduct assessments to measure and evaluate workplace noise levels, identifying sources and determining their potential impact on workers’ hearing health.
Approach
How we work
Workplace assessment
Measuring and evaluating workplace noise levels, identifying sources and determining their potential impact on workers’ hearing health.
Exposure monitoring
Using specialized equipment to monitor and measure the duration and intensity of workers’ noise exposure during daily activities, assessing compliance with occupational noise exposure limits.
Hearing conservation
Developing and implementing programs to protect workers’ hearing health, including recommending and providing training on the use of hearing protection devices (HPDs) and other preventive measures.
Engineering controls
Recommending and implementing engineering controls to reduce noise emissions from machinery and equipment, designing and installing effective noise control measures within the workplace.
Vibration assessment
Assessing the impact of occupational exposure to whole-body or hand-arm vibrations, particularly where heavy machinery is used: monitoring exposure, identifying sources, and assessing compliance with occupational exposure limits.
PPE, surveillance, and risk
Guidance on hearing protection devices and anti-vibration gloves; health surveillance programs for at-risk workers; and risk assessments that identify hazards and build strategies to minimize or eliminate them.
