Noise Monitoring and Noise Mapping


Workplace Noise Assessment
 
The Noise Assessment requires employers to prevent or reduce risks to health and safety from exposure to noise at work and in particular to:
  • assess the risks to employees from noise at work;
  • take action to reduce the noise exposure;
  • provide employees with hearing protection if they cannot reduce the noise exposure;
  • make sure the legal limits on noise exposure are not exceeded;
 Environmental Noise Assessment.

The purpose of this program is to check the compliance of legal requirement and reduce the environmental impact.

Noise Mapping
 
A noise map is a graphic representation of the sound level distribution existing in a given region.

Advantages of Noise mapping:
  • For assessing the introduction of noise mitigation measures.
  • Noise mapping is the most cost effective solution.
  • Alternative mitigation measures such as noise barriers
  • Controlling noise at source using enclosures and attenuators can all be investigated comparatively quickly and low cost.
  • When introduction of new industrial noise sources

Ambient Air Quality, Indoor Air Quality Monitoring

Laboratory possesses air quality monitoring on following Parameters;
CO, NO2, O3, SO2 and PM10.

The purpose of this program is to check the compliance of ambient air Quality with ambient air Quality standards.
  

Stack Emission monitoring


We have mobile stack emission monitoring units equipped to measure Dust, NOx, CO, CO2, O2, SO2 etc. Boiler Combustion Efficiency by flue gas analysis. All stack emission concentrations through standardized measurement techniques.

Stack emissions are measured for a number of reasons:
  • For permit renewal.
  • For ISO 14001 requirement.
  • For process control purposes. 
  • For emissions trading purposes (CO2, NOx).
