How do we measure noise levels in the workplace?

We measure noise levels in the workplace using a dosimeter and a sound level meter.A dosimeter measures noise levels over a period of time and provides us with a TWA. A sound level meter takes direct noise measurements from various distances from the noise source. If you would like a work area, process or piece of equipment tested, contact the safety office.
