Noise Assessment
Comprehensive workplace noise assessment — dosimetry, mapping, and control recommendations
Overview
A workplace noise assessment combines personal dosimetry, sound level meter surveys, and noise source identification to characterise the noise exposure profile across a site. Unlike simple monitoring, a full assessment includes task analysis, exposure group determination, noise mapping, and prioritised control recommendations.
The assessment identifies workers exposed above the 85 dB(A) LAeq,8h exposure standard, quantifies the contribution of individual noise sources, and evaluates the feasibility of engineering controls (enclosures, barriers, damping, isolation) before recommending administrative controls or hearing protection.
Results are delivered as a comprehensive report with noise maps, exposure group rankings, and a costed noise management plan compliant with AS/NZS 1269 Part 1 (Measurement and Assessment) and Part 3 (Hearing Protector Program).
