Noise Dosimeters

Noise dosimeters capture what matters most — real exposure during real work. In power generation and mining, mobile crews, confined spaces, and variable processes make area readings alone insufficient. Casella personal noise dosimeters help quantify dose, time‑weighted average, and peak levels across full shifts without cables or body‑worn microphones that snag. With intuitive setup, long battery life, and time‑history data for task analysis, they support hearing conservation programs, help align with OSHA and MSHA requirements, and provide clear documentation for audits.

Why Personal Dosimetry
Area sound levels only tell part of the story. Personal dosimeters ride along with the worker to capture exposure from equipment start‑ups, intermittent tasks, mobile equipment, confined spaces, and maintenance activities. This approach helps teams understand when peaks occur, which tasks drive dose, and how to prioritize controls.

Built for Industrial Work

  • Compact, cable‑free form factors simplify wear and reduce snag risk around conveyors, hoists, and rotating equipment.
  • Clear displays and single‑button operation reduce training time for rotating crews and contractors.
  • Long‑life batteries support full‑shift and overtime scenarios common during outages or turnarounds.
  • Robust clips and mounting options keep devices secure on PPE or clothing.

Data That Drives Decisions

  • Dose and TWA: Quantify exposure against program criteria.
  • Time‑history: Pinpoint high‑noise steps, equipment interactions, and problem locations.
  • Peak capture: Identify impulse events such as hammering or blasting.
  • Notes and tags: Add context to measurements for easier reporting and future reference.

Program and Compliance Support

  • Hearing conservation: Establish baselines, schedule monitoring, and document follow‑up actions.
  • OSHA/MSHA alignment: Use configurable settings to match program criteria and local requirements.
  • Training: Leverage clear reports to communicate findings to supervisors, safety committees, and front‑line teams.

Use Cases in Power Gen and Mining

  • Turbine inspections, boiler maintenance, and cooling tower work
  • Underground development, processing plants, and load‑out operations
  • Contractor management during outages with expanded headcounts
  • Verification of engineering controls after equipment changes

Implementation Guidance

  • Select representative workers across shifts and roles.
  • Run pilot monitoring to identify peak contributors and refine methods.
  • Use time‑history plots to link exposure to specific steps, then test targeted controls.
  • Re‑evaluate after changes in production rate, equipment, or work methods.

Outcome
Personal noise dosimeters help teams in power generation and mining capture accurate exposure, make informed control decisions, and maintain the documentation needed for program oversight and audits — all with tools designed for tough environments.
