Noise Monitoring and Survey for Onboard Marine Vessels
Noise monitoring or noise surveys performed to identify harmful noise levels to ensure the continuous safety of workers exposed to high-noise work environments. Noise monitoring ensures that these noise levels are properly assessed and controlled and allows for the taking of appropriate action to guarantee risk-free work settings. Specialised tools are used as part of condition monitoring and preventive maintenance modules. It is a pivotal element of workforce safety in numerous industries, for instance, on marine vessels.
The marine industry is a place where the operators are bound to use high decibels to communicate with one another, while on operational floors and at sea. High noise levels also apply to countless other industries, like process industries, mechanical plants, airports, and much more. Ocean Technical and Mechanical Services provides expert Marine condition monitoring and onboard noise surveys to detect anomalies before they escalate to become risks, reducing operational downtime and ensuring the asset and workers’ safety.
Noise Monitoring Services from Ocean
Let us look at ways Ocean Technicals helps our customers and clients identify the harmful noise levels and conduct noise monitoring:
- We pinpoint and identify areas where employees are likely exposed to harmful noise levels.
- We help you identify the kind of machinery and tools that may generate a harmful level of noise.
- We raise awareness among employees and management about risks associated with high noise exposure.
- We adopt appropriate measures to bring down the noise levels to accepted thresholds.
- We make the workers aware of the effects of noise from operational shifts and the variations in noise levels under multiple conditions of the same operations.
Benefits of Expert Noise Survey From Ocean
The importance of conducting regular noise monitoring and surveys cannot be overstated. It provides numerous advantages to industries, particularly because it gathers information that is otherwise less obvious or scattered. In Noise Surveys, there are generally three types of tests conducted:
1- Spot Readings: Spot readings are single readings taken with a handheld device. They are particularly useful for quick checks or to identify immediate noise levels in a specified area.
2- Continuous Monitoring: In this monitoring, the noise meter is installed at a specific location and measurements are taken at regular intervals. This helps to understand noise trends and fluctuations. Continuous monitoring gives a clear and detailed picture of how the sound level changes at different times.
3- Ongoing or Long-Term Monitoring: The sound levels are measured at small time intervals varying from 5 minutes to an hour, over different time periods ranging from weeks to months. This is done to understand the patterns of noise pollution and variations in the long run. Long-term monitoring is often used for urban planning, regulatory compliance, or environmental studies.
Benefits of the Noise survey:
The importance of conducting regular noise monitoring and surveys cannot be overstated. In Noise Surveys,
- Understanding High Risk Areas: Noise surveys help detect specific areas of the workplace or industrial site where noise levels exceed safe limits. By precisely mapping these risk zones, corrective measures can be taken to reduce workplace hazards.
- Proper noise monitoring for employee protection: Regular noise monitoring ensures the workers’ safety by making sure they are not exposed to harmful noise levels for prolonged periods. This protects their hearing and supports workplace safety and productivity.
- Ensure regulatory compliance: Many Industries generally are required to follow strict noise regulations set by authorities. Regular noise surveys guarantee compliance, helping industries avoid fines, penalties and legal complications.
- Improved efficiency: By having a clear idea of noise sources, companies can solve problems at the root, leading to better resource allocation, smoother operations and reduced downtime.
- Informed decision in the long run: Long-term noise monitoring gives valuable data that shows the trends and patterns over time; with this, the businesses can plan smarter decisions to improve safety and sustainability.
How Noise Survey work?
A noise level meter, equipped with a microphone, a processor, a display and other components is calibrated before the noise survey to collect daytime and nighttime activities or as per the requirements. For spot readings, the operators measure sound at ear level near employees to replicate their daily exposure. In risky and dynamic environments, a personal sound exposure meter (PSEM) records the noise levels throughout shifts. For long-term and continuous monitoring, meters are installed on tripods at high-risk and high-exposure locations, and average levels are calculated to check employee exposure levels and ensure safety.
