In Singapore, managing noise hazards is a critical part of ensuring worker safety and legal compliance. Under the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Noise Regulations 2011, employers must assess and control employee exposure to harmful noise levels. Personal Noise Monitoring Services Singapore, also known as personal dosimetry, is a crucial method for measuring individual exposure and ensuring adherence to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) guidelines.
At Envirex Pte Ltd, we specialize in occupational noise monitoring and workplace noise monitoring solutions tailored for industries such as construction, manufacturing, and petrochemicals. This guide explores how our services help you protect your employees, achieve compliance, and gain actionable insights.
What Is Personal Noise Monitoring?
Personal noise monitoring involves the use of personal dosimetry devices—lightweight, wearable noise dosimeters—worn near the ear throughout a work shift. These instruments capture data such as:
- LAeq: Average continuous noise level.
- LCPeak: Peak sound pressure level, indicating sudden loud noise spikes.
- % Dose: Percentage of Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) based on 85 dB(A) over 8 hours.
This data is essential in identifying risks of Noise-Induced Deafness (NID), a permanent but preventable occupational disease. MOM mandates personal noise monitoring services Singapore for workplaces where workers are exposed to noise levels exceeding 85 dB(A), as part of the Hearing Conservation Program (HCP).
Why Personal Noise Monitoring Is Essential
Uncontrolled noise exposure impacts not only hearing but also productivity and long-term health. Here’s why occupational noise monitoring is vital:
- Legal Compliance: MOM requires workplace noise monitoring when noise exposure exceeds the PEL. Failure to comply can lead to enforcement actions.
- Health Protection: Prevents hearing loss, tinnitus, and stress-related conditions.
- Targeted Risk Control: Identifies specific high-risk tasks or employee groups.
- Data-Driven Action: Detailed noise monitoring report insights support effective noise control strategies (e.g., PPE or engineering controls).
At Envirex, we don’t just monitor—we help you implement long-term solutions to noise hazards.
Our Personal Noise Monitoring Services
Envirex Pte Ltd provides end-to-end personal noise monitoring services Singapore, ensuring compliance and safety through advanced methods:
1. Advanced Noise Dosimetry
We deploy state-of-the-art personal dosimetry devices (IEC 61252 compliant), weighing only 45g, for seamless use throughout the workday. These record real-time LAeq, LCPeak, and % Dose—ideal for factory noise monitoring where continuous exposure is common.
2. Similar Exposure Groups (SEGs)
Our monitoring strategy includes grouping employees by Similar Exposure Groups (SEGs) to enhance data accuracy and efficiency, in line with WSH’s Hearing Conservation Program guidelines.
3. Comprehensive Noise Monitoring Report
Each project concludes with a detailed noise monitoring report prepared by competent officers. This includes exposure levels, risk assessments, and practical control measures for MOM compliance. We also support annual reporting requirements for high-noise work environments.
4. Integration with Hearing Conservation Program (HCP)
If monitoring identifies exposure above 85 dB(A), a full HCP is necessary. We support all seven HCP steps, including audiometric testing, training, noise mapping, and selection of appropriate hearing protection devices (e.g., 20 dB NRR-rated earplugs).
