Noise Surveys & Dosimetry
Effective hearing conservation programs begin with understanding workplace noise exposure. Noise surveys and dosimetry identify where and when employees may be exposed to hazardous noise levels, providing the foundation for compliance, risk control, and appropriate hearing protection.
Across Canada, employers are required to identify and manage noise exposure that exceeds regulated limits. Accurate measurement is essential to meeting these obligations and preventing occupational hearing loss.
Assessment Services
Noise surveys and dosimetry may include:
- Area noise surveys to map sound levels across facilities
- Personal noise dosimetry to measure individual exposure over time
- Identification of noise hazard zones and high-risk workstations
- Analysis to support selection of appropriate hearing protection levels
These assessments provide the data required to design effective hearing conservation controls.
