Noise Testing Services – a Practical Overview for employers

Once your noise risk assessment is complete you will have identified all noise hazards in the workplace. Now by enlisting the noise testing services of Anitech Noise Assessment you can receive a documented report on the exact sources and levels of your workplace noise. Anitech Noise Assessment will tailor a noise level survey specifically for your business ensuring that all workplace noise is accurately measured.

This can be done in two ways; either with a static test using hand held equipment or using dosimeters fitted to employees to provide a noise exposure assessment for that individual.

The benefits of an individual noise exposure assessment using a dosimeter are that you are provided with an accurate figure for the amount of workplace noise that this particular employee has been exposed to. A noise exposure assessment for your employees does take a little more time to complete over a static assessment and may not be suitable for every situation. We will advise you on the most appropriate, cost effect noise testing services for your business.

Once noise testing services are complete you only need to review your documented workplace noise levels within your report and refer to the provided Noise Action Plan to start addressing and reducing your hazardous occupational noise.
