Every country has regulations relating to Employee Health and Safety and protecting them from harmful noise levels is one among them. By conducting regular noise surveys, we can ensure that your organization maintains compliance with international, national, and local regulations as well. ISO, ILO, and OSHA, are some of the most important regulations many industries follow.

• Continuous monitoring of machineries across plants and operation/production floors
• Long-term noise level monitoring
• Noise zone level survey and categorization for existing and newly commissioned vessels, including hearing protector recommendation for new vessels
• Noise survey and zone categorization for industries as per ISO and OSHA for containing sound levels within the allowed limited at workplaces
• Noise forecasts for manufacturing and power plants for commissioning

A noise level meter is made up of many parts such as power supply, communication system, display system, processor, microphone, frequency weighting, and pre-amplifier. The equipment is calibrated, and the survey is conducted to ensure coverage of noise generation by the usual operations and activities in the daytime, as well as a part of night time activities. At the time of monitoring, the sound level meter measures sound pressure levels. 

For spot or one-time readings, our Engineers will hold the meter standing one arm length away from an employee, and hold at the ear level of the employees working in the location with exposure to harmful noise, and test it on the right and left side to replicate the experience of an employee on a typical day. If employees work in environments where the noise levels keep changing all the time, a PSEM or personal sound exposure meter is placed on the shoulder of the employee, which records the noise exposure throughout the shift. For long-term or continuous monitoring, the sound meter is installed in the locations, usually on tripods, where the noise exposure is suspected to be very high. The average noise levels over a certain time period are calculated to determine the extent of harmful noise exposure employees are subjected to.

At Technomax, we work with safety managers, plant engineers, and industrial hygienists to control noise pollution. Conducting surveys is often the first step in handling harmful noise exposure of employees. Over the last decade, we have entered into long term partnerships with manufacturers and service providers, allowing us to provide superior service to our customers regardless of industry or size. Our noise survey services help companies identify hazardous equipment and locations for harmful noise, protect employee’s health, and meet all regulatory compliant requirements.

Our highly trained and skilled technicians will help you to maintain the safety standards of your facilities and employees with swift and reliable noise surveys. Today, with a presence across the Middle East regions, we are able to support many organizations, helping them to define and maintain the approved sound levels at the workplace and ensuring good employee health.
