Occupational Noise Surveys
Effectively managing excessive noise levels and communicating safety concerns in the workplace is extremely important for industry today. Under the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Act it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that workers' exposure to noise does not exceed 85 dBA Lex. One tool commonly used to communicate the risk of noise exposure to workers is a Noise Map. PAAE can help you create noise maps of your business for a variety of applications, from complete facilities to individual rooms and buildings.
