Noise Assessment Multi Equipment


Guidelines:
 80dBA is the First Action Level – hearing protection should be offered.
 85dBA is the Second Action Level – hearing protection is mandatory.
 Before resorting straight to PPE, look at the organisation of the work and consider if the risk can be reduced any other way. For example by isolating the noisy work, reducing the number of people exposed, or
the length of time someone is working in the noisy environment
 Noise ratings can be determined using a sound level meter. Should you require a noise assessment, please contact the Health & Safety Dept.
 As a rough guide, if you have to raise your voice to be heard from 2 metres away, the noise will be approximately at the first action level. If you are raising your voice to be heard at 1 metre away from the
source, it is likely to be at the second level
 Don’t forget to take into account other persons working within the noisy area.
 Exposure limit values (ELV): These relate to personal exposure to noise and must not be exceeded, peak sound pressure of 140 dB.
