Personal Noise Dosimeters for Workplace Noise Monitoring

Not all workers are exposed to the same levels of noise – yet most assessments treat them as if they are. That’s where personal noise dosimeters like the doseBadge come in.

Traditional noise assessments offer a useful snapshot, but they don’t always reflect the real-world variation between individual roles, shifts, or tasks. And if you’re trying to stay compliant with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, accurate exposure tracking is non-negotiable.

Why Individual Noise Monitoring Matters

Workplace noise isn’t always consistent. One person may be exposed to high-impact tools, another to ongoing background machinery. A standard noise map won’t always capture these nuances.

Personal dosimeters bridge the gap.

These shoulder-mounted monitors track noise exposure for each worker throughout their shift. That means:

• Better data for compliance
• Clearer identification of who’s at risk
• Smarter decisions on hearing protection

What Makes the doseBadge Stand Out?

We use the doseBadge Noise Dosimeter from Cirrus Research – one of the most trusted models in the industry. Here’s why it’s different:

• No cables, buttons, or displays – reducing the risk of damage or tampering
• Lightweight and wearable – clips discreetly to the shoulder
• Rugged, tamper-resistant metal case – ideal for harsh environments
• Intrinsically safe version available – suitable for use in hazardous or explosive zones

When Should You Use a Personal Noise Dosimeter?

• Workers rotate tasks or move between noise zones
• Machinery is used intermittently
• Sites include demolition, manufacturing, or construction environments
• Standard measurements don’t capture enough detail
