Noise Monitoring
Conversion Technology Inc. conducts noise level monitoring at facilities to document compliance with 29 CFR 1910.95 " Occupational Noise Exposure" or define steps necessary to achieve compliance. Noise level monitoring is conducted to determine areas with a potential 8-hour Time Weight Average (TWA8) exposire greater than 85 dBA. Areas identified as having a potential TWA8 greater than 85 dBA are evaluated using a noise dosimeter to determine the TWA8 value.
There are two different instruments to measure noise exposures, the sound level meter and the dosimeter. The following is a brief description of the equipment used:
Sound Level Meter- A sound level meter is a device that measures the intensity of sound at a given moment. Since sound level meters provide a measure of sound intensity at only one point in time, it is generally necessary to take a number of measurements at different times during the day to estimate noise exposure over a workday. If noise levels flucuate, the amount of time noise remains at each of the various measured levels must be determined.

Dosimeter - A dosimeter is like a sound level meter, except that it stores sound level measurements, and it grates these measurements over time, providing an average noise exposure reading for a given period of time, such as am 8-hour workday.
