Occupational Noise Monitoring
Occupational noise monitoring measures workplace noise levels to identify risks of hearing loss and ensure compliance with safety regulations. It helps employers implement noise control measures and prevent Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) or tinnitus. We carry out occupational noise assessment as per Factories and Other place of Work (Hazardous Substances) Rules (Legal Notice 60/2007) under the Occupational Safety and Health Act 2007, Laws of Kenya.
