Defending workers’ hearing in three simple steps
06 September 2024
HEARING PROTECTION is one of the most important pieces of PPE. However, many organisations often fail to provide the right level of protection, which can pose just as great a risk as not providing it at all.
Knowing the correct type of hearing protection to provide may sound daunting, but the team at Cirrus Research has made it easy to achieve in three simple steps with their advanced noise dosimeter, the doseBadge5. With the doseBadge5, you can defend your workers’ hearing effectively in three simple steps.
Measure noise frequency data with the doseBadge5
The doseBadge5 noise dosimeter comes with 1:1 octave band filters as standard, which break noise levels down into frequency bands. This is the first key step in making sure you choose the most effective hearing protection. The doseBadge5 is compact and lightweight, meaning its comfortable enough to be worn for the duration of an entire shift. Its pre-programmable timers also make it easy for you to create noise measurement schedules, meaning you don’t have to be present on-site to start and stop measurements.
It also comes equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, which means you can operate the doseBadge5 remotely from up to 10 metres away, either through the dedicated smartphone application or the remote control wand.
Analyse your noise data in our licence-free software, NoiseTools
Once you have completed your noise measurements, simply download your data into Cirrus Research's licence-free software, NoiseTools. The powerful built-in analysis tools will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the noise levels affecting your employees, helping you to make informed decisions on noise control and reduction methods.
NoiseTools also features a database of hearing protection from several leading brands, and the hearing protection selection tool will highlight which products are the most effective to supply, based on the specific noise level data your doseBadge5 noise dosimeters have recorded.
Protect your employees' hearing with the right hearing protection
By using the hearing protection selection tool in NoiseTools, you can choose the most effective PPE for your staff. You can avoid under- and overprotection using the comprehensive database of hearing defenders. Depending on the noise levels your employees are exposed to, you can provide the right PPE to ensure that your workers’ hearing is safeguarded against the dangers of exposure to excessive noise.
