Noise Assessment Kits for the safety professional
April 10th 2008

Pulsar Instruments has introduced kits for safety professionals that are a custom-made solution for resolving their specific risk assessment issues.

The latest noise directive requires companies to assess the risk from noise exposure levels for their workers and visitors. You then need to create a clear report with a prioritised action plan of how you intend to eliminate or minimise these hazards.

Finding out exact working practices can be difficult as often workers themselves do not realise what they actually do during a typical day. For this reason dosimetry is an ideal method for determining working practices and can be used in conjunction with a sound level meter to great effect.

Step 1 Choose a sound level meter to suit your own specific application. This can be a simple to use instrument from our popular Assessor range or a Model 30 or 33 Real Time Analyser for more exacting applications.

Step 2 Augment this with one of our Model 22 doseBadge systems. These systems allow you to accurately assess the daily exposure levels of those at risk. The simplicity of these robust, lightweight and wireless dosimetry units remove any barriers to the assessment of daily personal exposure levels. Dosimetry is especially suitable for applications where workers are regularly moving from location to location, working unsociable hours, involved with moving machinery or in difficult to reach areas.

Step 3 Let us do the maths. Our focused software packages allow you to download your measurements and quickly produce a variety of automated yet comprehensive reports. Clear basic measurement, time history information and graphs, automatic hearing protection selection calculations or exposure calculations are just a few button clicks away.
