Excessive workplace noise isn’t just annoying over time; it can also permanently damage hearing and make it harder to hear instructions and alarms. Under the WHS laws, businesses must ensure noise exposure does not exceed LAeq,8h 85 dB(A) or LC, peak 140 dB(C).

We design and deliver practical noise-monitoring programs that meet these exposure standards, using area surveys and personal dosimetry to profile real-world exposure across shifts and tasks.

What we do:

•              Baseline & personal dosimetry (Type 1 instruments) to capture task‑based exposure, including peak events.

•              Noise mapping of workshops, plant rooms and mobile plant cabins to visualise hotspots and priorities.

•              Control advice aligned with the hierarchy of controls (engineering, administrative and selection of hearing protection that hits target in‑ear levels (typically 75–80 dB(A) to avoid over‑protection

Why it matters:

Noise can contribute to tinnitus, fatigue and reduced situational awareness. Where hearing protection is required “frequently”, audiometric testing is a duty: a baseline within 3 months and at least every 2 years thereafter, to ensure your controls are working overtime.

Deliverables:

A clear report with exposure profiles, compliance against standards, control recommendations, and an implementation plan that’s realistic for sites and budgets.
