1: Introduction
Overview
Noise Assessment Steps
1. Perform a task-based work flow analysis of unacceptable “noisy” areas and list
regulations/codes you will follow.
Observe facility/areas and jot down areas of concern.
Check with standards and noise ordinance regulations in your region/city.
See Chapter 1 for basic information on dosimetry and standards.
3. Running your studies.
Calibrate dosimeter.
Attach the dosimeter.
Run, observe, and stop your studies.
Understand display indicators.
See Chapter 4 “Running and operating”.
4. View your results via Detection Management Software (DMS).
Working with Charts and Tables.
Organizing and saving your studies.
See Chapter 5 to view measurements with DMS.
6. Develop corrective actions.
Engineering: redesign tools, implement changes in workstation.
Administrative: job sharing/rotations, redefinition of job functions, reduce duration
operating tool/equipment, and/or implement medical surveillance.
2. Setting up your dosimeter parameters for your noise studies.
Customize measurement setup (i.e., criterion level, threshold, weighting, exchange
rate, etc.)
See Chapter 2 for getting started with your dosimeter.
See Chapter 3 for customizing your setup parameters.
See Chapter 5 for Noise study scenarios.
