Occupational noise has been a constant threat since the birth of industry and occupational noise monitoring needs to be carried out to ensure that workers’ hearing is protected from excessive noise at their place of work.

All Employers are required to assess the risks to its employee’s health and safety created by exposure to noise in the workplace.

One way of doing this is to carry out a workplace occupational noise monitoring survey. The results of this will aid the company in formulating its action plan to reduce exposures to noise, as required by regulations. These regulations state that companies are required to monitor noise levels in the workplace, and to take steps to prevent or reduce the exposure to noise risks.

All employers who undertake work liable to expose any employees to noise at 80dB(A) or above a lower exposure action value must make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risk that noise poses to the health and safety of those employees. The risk assessment must also identify the measures needed in order to meet the requirements of the regulations by either eliminating or mitigating the exposure.
