Howard Leight has introduced the QuietDose, a personal dosimeter designed to measure and records a worker’s actual in-ear exposure to noise over an entire work shift.
According to the company, the dosimeter is a major advance towards stopping the progression of occupational hearing loss and ensuring employer compliance with hearing safety regulations.
The QuietDose system consists of a small Exposure Smart Protector (ESP) Dosimeter that’s worn by employees in a shirt pocket or on the back of a hardhat; protective eartips or an earmuff with integrated microphones that record real-time in-ear noise levels; and a connecting harness.
An infrared reader enables safety managers to retrieve data from the ESP Dosimeter at the end of each shift or work week and analyze the results on a personal computer.
QuietDose enables safety managers and employees to track, document, and address the potential of occupational hearing loss and Standard Threshold Shift (STS) in real time; select appropriate hearing protectors for each employee’s noise environment; and streamline worker deployment by more accurately matching shift hours with proper protection.
