This whitepaper explains how to evaluate workplace noise using sound surveys and personal noise dosimeters to measure “noise dose,” expressed as a percentage of allowable exposure. It compares global standards (e.g., OSHA, NIOSH, EU Directive) and highlights that legal limits may not always represent safe levels. Guidance is provided for measurement setup, calibration, reporting, and interpretation of projected dose. If unsafe exposure is identified, recommended controls include engineering solutions, administrative rotation, PPE, and ongoing monitoring, supported by software tools to model control scenarios and optimize mitigation strategies.
