Noise & Hearing Conservation

Evaluate workplace noise and identify the hearing-conservation and control measures relevant to your operation.

We confirm the scope, location, and appropriate specialist support before scheduling.

Is this the right service?

  • Workers raise exposure concerns or a process produces dust, fumes, or vapors.
  • New chemicals, equipment, or work practices may change exposure.
  • You need noise monitoring, exposure data, or evidence to evaluate existing controls.

How we help.

Understand the task

Review materials, duration, work practices, and existing controls.

Measure with a purpose

Develop a sampling strategy and collect the evidence needed for the exposure question.

Explain the options

Interpret results, limitations, and practical control or follow-up needs.

What you receive.

A clear record your facilities, operations, or EHS team can use.

  • The exposure question, task context, and sampling approach
  • Measurement results with the relevant comparison criteria
  • Interpretation and important limitations
  • Recommended controls and follow-up monitoring where needed
Methods, criteria & technical scope

The problem

Noise exposure changes by task, location, equipment, and time.

Area sound levels alone may not represent a mobile employee's full-shift dose. Where exposure varies, personal noise dosimetry helps characterize what the employee actually experiences across the workday.

Regulatory trigger

OSHA's hearing conservation action level is 85 dBA as an 8-hour TWA.

Under 29 CFR 1910.95, employers must administer a continuing, effective hearing conservation program when employee exposure equals or exceeds an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 dBA. Monitoring is required when information indicates employees may be exposed at or above that level.
