Noise Measurement in the Workplace

It is important to measure the noise levels and the noise that the workers are exposed to in terms of protecting the hearing of the workers in the working environment and controlling the workplace noise. The purpose of noise measurements is basically to determine whether workers are exposed to high levels of noise that can cause hearing loss in work environments. Thanks to the noise measurements, the precautions to be taken are determined.

Noise exposure is determined by determining the sound pressure level using various tools and techniques. The first stage in the working environment begins with the determination of whether noise measurements are needed.

How should noise measurements be planned in a working environment? What is important?

• Purpose of measurement
• Noise sources
• Temporal noise
• Locations of exposed persons
• Conditions during the shift

The second step in the measurements is the determination of the noise exposure. If the noise is constant in a workplace, if the employee is constant throughout the day, if the measurements represent a typical day, or if the noise in the workplace changes throughout the day and is a lively environment, the measurement conditions will also change.
