Occupational Noise Surveys
Effectively managing and communicating environmental conditions in the workplace is extremely important for industry today. One tool commonly used to communicate the risk of noise exposure is a “noise map”. Noise maps can be used for a variety of applications, from complete facilities to individual rooms and buildings.

Patching Associates can work with you to create a noise map of your facility that meets your specific needs. Maps can highlight areas that require noise protection, use symbols to denote additional information and include tables of when hearing protection is required for different shift lengths.
