Chapter 1: Introduction
Measuring noise in the workplace is an
important element of hearing conservation
programs and noise reduction programs. With a
noise dosimeter, you can assess and determine
a worker’s daily exposure to noise levels. This
information can be used to ensure compliance
with regulatory bodies or to ensure if hearing
conservation programs are needed.
To get you started quickly with the Edge, the
first chapter is dedicated to introducing basic
noise dosimetry terms and information. The
subsequent chapters will guide you through
setting up the dosimeter, running studies, and
assessing your results with easy to follow steps
and illustrations.
