Noise Level Survey
A noise survey of your plant is an OSHA required part of your hearing conservation program. As part of our Industrial Hearing Conservation services, we conduct numerous noise surveys in manufacturing and other industrial facilities each year.
Our extensive experience in regulatory compliance issues, worker’s compensation and medico-legal areas has refined our survey methods and procedures to best serve our clients. This experience also allows us to provide noise measurement services at considerable cost savings. Noise survey data is critical in the defense of worker’s compensation claims.
Medico-Legal Aspects of Hearing Loss
High levels of noise can cause permanent, irreversible hearing loss. The interaction of intensity (decibel level), exposure time and other parameters of sound are important factors in determining if a causal relationship exists between sound intensity level and hearing loss. Dr. Chow has extensive experience in obtaining noise measurements appropriate for medico-legal aspects of hearing loss.
Acoustic Isolation and Sound Reduction
Assessing sound levels before and after a construction project is essential to achieving desired goals.
Although we do not employ acoustic or design engineers, we can measure sound levels, including octave bands, to determine design needs and final acoustic achievements at the end of your project.
