Australian Noise Exposure Standard<\/span><\/span><\/h3><\/header>

<\/p>\n

\nThe Noise Exposure Standard in all states across Australia is Leq8h (A) 85dB and a Peak (C) of 140db. This means in the frequency of human hearing \u2013 the (A) frequency; an employee can be exposed to no more than an average of 85dB for 8hrs or a peak noise of 140dB in the (C) frequency.<\/p>\n

Use this table to calculate the 8hr average<\/p>\n

(Leq8h (A) dB) noise exposure for your employees.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Enter the name and the Leq (A) dB reading from the individual points of assessment contained within your noise assessment report.<\/li>\n
  • Enter the time period throughout a normal day that an employee would spend in the vicinity of that individual point of assessment \u2013 in HH:MM format.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The calculator will work out the Leq8h (A) dB for that particular employee for comparison against the Noise Exposure Standard of 85dB.<\/p>\n

    Should your calculated result for your employee or employee groups be over 85dB you are then required by law to address the hierarchy of control to lower the employee\u2019s exposure.<\/p>\n

    Remember hearing protection should only be your last resort.<\/p>\n
