Noise and Vibration Measurements

Noise and vibration exposure are significant factors that directly impact the health and safety of workers. In industrial settings, construction sites, and other workplaces, employees can be exposed to noise and vibrations. This exposure can lead to hearing loss, musculoskeletal disorders, and other health issues. Our company, with its specialized team and modern equipment, provides personal noise and vibration exposure measurement services to help protect workers' health.

Personal Noise Exposure Measurements

Personal noise exposure measurements are conducted to determine the noise levels employees are exposed to in their work environment. As previously mentioned, the human ear's response to sound depends on its frequency, leading to the concept of weighting scales. On the "A-weighted" scale, sound pressure levels for low and high frequencies are reduced by specific amounts before combining into a single sound pressure level value, expressed as dB(A). This weighting criterion is used because it more accurately reflects the frequency response of the human ear. These measurements are essential to prevent noise-induced hearing loss and ensure compliance with legal regulations.

The process we follow for personal noise exposure measurements includes:

• Measurement Planning: The first step is identifying workplaces and employee groups at risk of noise exposure. At this stage, we determine which workstations and employees will be included in the measurements.
• Equipment Installation: Personal noise dosimeters are placed on employees who will be monitored. These devices continuously record the noise levels that employees are exposed to during their daily activities.
• Data Collection: Data is recorded by the personal dosimeters throughout the work period. This data is used to measure noise exposure at specific time intervals and under different working conditions.
• Analysis: Our expert team analyzes the collected data to evaluate the noise levels employees are exposed to. This evaluation is compared with legal limits to determine whether the exposure levels are acceptable.
• Compliance and Certification: We conduct all measurements in compliance with legal regulations, standards, and legislation. We hold accreditation certificates from the Turkish Accreditation Agency (TÜRKAK) under TS EN ISO/IEC 17025 and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (İSGÜM).
• Reporting: The analysis results are presented in detailed reports. These reports provide employers and safety specialists with comprehensive information on noise exposure and help in taking necessary measures. Personal noise exposure measurements provide essential data for implementing noise control measures in workplaces and protecting workers' health.

Personal Vibration Exposure Measurements

Personal vibration exposure measurements are conducted to determine the vibration levels employees are exposed to in their work environment. Vibration is categorized into hand-arm vibration (HAV) and whole-body vibration (WBV), both of which can negatively impact health.
