The North Dakota Safety Council offers occupational noise assessments for your company. Noise is a physical hazard and hearing loss is one of the most common work-related illnesses. The CDC estimates 22 million workers are exposed to damaging noise each year. It affects safety at home and on the job. The NDSC offers noise assessments using state-of-the-art sound level meters and dosimeters. An occupational noise assessment includes a consultation and a written assessment report. OSHA requires employers to prove the existence and non-existence of physical and chemical hazards in the workplace, the NDSC can help you identify concerning exposure, and make a plan to be in compliance with OSHA’s Noise Standard.
