Noise Exposure Assessments

Excessive noise on the job isn’t just distracting—it’s a serious health and safety risk. Prolonged exposure to high sound levels can lead to permanent hearing loss, reduced concentration and lower productivity.

Mercer Safety’s Noise Exposure Assessments measure sound levels across your workplace using professional-grade monitoring equipment. We evaluate worker exposure to determine compliance with provincial OHS regulations, including the 85 dBA (8-hour time-weighted average) guideline.

When noise levels exceed recommended limits, our team provides clear, actionable recommendations. These may include engineering or administrative controls, the use of appropriate hearing protection devices and the development of a Hearing Conservation Program.

Our assessments not only help you meet legal requirements but also protect your workforce and support a safer, more productive workplace.
