Occupational noise-induced hearing loss is the most common occupational disease and is entirely preventable with proper exposure assessment and control. MAC Safety's Noise Monitoring Programs quantify worker noise exposure through personal dosimetry and area sound level surveys, identifying where noise levels exceed OSHA action levels and permissible exposure limits.
MAC's noise monitoring services include full-shift personal dosimetry for representative workers in each job category, octave band analysis for engineering control evaluation, area sound level mapping for zone classification, and the statistical analysis needed to characterize exposure variability across shifts and operating conditions. All monitoring follows OSHA and NIOSH protocols for measurement methodology.
Noise monitoring data flows into the NIXN platform, creating exposure records that support hearing conservation program compliance — audiometric testing scheduling, hearing protector selection, exposure notification requirements, and the documentation needed to demonstrate compliance with OSHA 1910.95. Longitudinal exposure data enables tracking of noise control effectiveness over time.
