We are specialists in providing detailed engineering control specifications to reduce noise levels within the workplace, providing advice on regulations and your legal requirements, assist with hearing loss claims, and presenting workplace OH&S noise training sessions for employees and OH&S managers.
These assessments include personal noise dosimetry, task specific handheld measurements, noise mapping, audits of signage and hearing protection suitability analysis. The assessments are designed to determine employee noise exposures and compare them to the relevant exposure standard.
While we work closely with government bodies such as WorkSafe, we report to you.

How is Hazardous Noise assessed in the workplace
There are two separate criteria the OH&S regulations specify to determine if someone is exposed to hazardous noise. These are:
- If an employee's average exposure to noise over their shift exceeds 85 decibels (Leq, 8hr dBA)
- If an employee is exposed to noise levels above a peak of 140 decibels at any one time (Lpeak dBC)
The OH&S regulations have a hierarchy of noise controls to protect employees when they operate in hazardous noise areas. While the order of the hierarchy does differ slightly from state to state, they generally consist of the following:
- If an employee's average exposure to noise over their shift exceeds 85 decibels (Leq, 8hr dBA)
- If an employee is exposed to noise levels above a peak of 140 decibels at any one time (Lpeak dBC)
