Noise Dosimeters

Noise dosimeters deliver a detailed view of personal exposure across an entire workday or task. For industrial manufacturers, this granularity helps link noise peaks to specific equipment or processes and can inform PPE selection and engineering interventions.

What Noise Dosimeters Do

• Record exposure over time, capturing Lavg/LEQ and dose metrics
• Log time-history to correlate peaks with tasks
• Offer event markers or notes to identify sources
• Support automated workflows with start/stop schedules

Why They Matter

• Exposure Transparency: Shift-long data reveals patterns that spot checks can miss.
• Control Planning: Insights support prioritization of engineering or administrative controls.
• Program Efficiency: Consistent workflows reduce time spent on data handling and reporting.

Key Features to Consider

• Form Factor: Choose shoulder-mounted or collar designs that minimize interference with work.
• Runtime and Memory: Confirm capacity for long shifts and multiple days.
• Analysis Options: Some models support octave bands or additional metrics.
• Software Integration: Look for fast downloads, clear charts, and exportable reports.
• Durability: Select devices designed for industrial environments.

Field Tips

• Calibrate before and after each session using an acoustic calibrator.
• Document job tasks and timelines to add context to measured peaks.
• Use multiple dosimeters across roles to capture exposure variability.
• Schedule deployments to match representative days and seasons.

Applications

• Baseline exposure assessments for new production lines
• Routine monitoring for hearing conservation programs
• Validation of engineering controls and maintenance activities
• Contractor and temporary worker exposure checks

Data and Reporting
Modern software streamlines data transfer, visualization, and report generation. Standardized templates help present key metrics, time-history plots, and notes in a concise format for management review and audit support.

Results You Can Expect

• Better visibility into when and where exposure occurs
• More targeted control strategies
• Clear documentation to support program objectives
