1: Introduction
Dosimetry
Measuring noise in the workplace is an important
element of hearing conservation programs and
noise reduction programs. With a noise dosimeter,
you can assess and determine a worker’s daily
exposure to noise levels. This information can be
used to ensure compliance with regulatory bodies
or to ensure if hearing conservation programs
are needed.
