Real-World Data to understand Real-World Risk.

Performing noise risk assessments to an adequate standard can be challenging. In many environments, the noise levels reaching a person’s ear fluctuate throughout the day, varying the exposure level of each individual throughout a shift or workday.

For the typical worker, a standard day presents varied exposure to noise, with fluctuations based on tasks, movement, equipment use, and proximity to others while they carry out their work.

Walking through a factory, for instance, to different workstations or moving from one location to another, whilst performing a myriad of different types of tasks, with proximity to colleagues, who are also creating noise as they go about their work, presents a very individual exposure level which may differ from worker to worker in the same environment.

Traditional approaches to assessment exposure rely heavily on the skill and judgement of the assessment team to identify, monitor noise levels, closely observe working times and behaviours and estimate many other factors.

With the Smart Alert Noise Assessment service, the hard work of calculating personal cumulative exposure is done for you, on a daily or weekly basis. Using advanced in-ear monitoring, Smart Alert continuously tracks and calculates individual noise exposure, capturing data in the left ear and right ear, as well as surrounding ambient noise.  It provides accurate, cumulative exposure levels for each worker across a full shift or longer assessment period.

Even better, it automatically factors in real-world variables like:

• PPE usage (and whether it’s actually worn correctly).

• Changes in task, location, or shift pattern.

• Existing noise controls, such as barriers or quiet work procedures.

No manual calculations. No disruption. Just real exposure data collected while your team works naturally, unhindered and uninterrupted.

It’s a smarter, more human-centred way to measure risk.

It’s noise assessment, at the personal level.
