Noise Survey

Conducting a noise survey at your facility is part of due diligence. As a Human Resources Manager, Health & Safety Professional, or Production Manager, you should regularly evaluate the potential for exposure to elevated levels of noise as part of an overall Hearing Protection Review’. According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration reports, just eight hours of continual exposure to noise exceeding 85 decibels can produce headaches, fatigue and dizziness, and can result in hearing loss.
