Noise is one of the most prevalent occupational health hazards found in the workplace. It can cause permanent hearing loss, reduce worker concentration and inhibit communications, which may increase the risk of injury or even death.
Occupational hearing loss is a serious problem, while it can be easily avoided. Therefore, accurate noise monitoring is an important component of a hearing conservation program.
3M noise meters provides users with easy, durable noise detection, helping identify where hearing protection may need to be worn. The meters range from basic and advanced sound level meters to noise dosimeters.
