Noise Dosimeter
The NoiseBadge is a durable, shoulder-mounted personal noise dosimeter designed for monitoring an individual’s daily noise exposure in demanding environments
Product Description
The NoiseBadge is ideal for monitoring an individual’s noise exposure throughout the day, particularly where employees move between different tasks or locations. It covers a dynamic measurement range of 70 dB(A) to 130 dB(A) and is suitable for occupational noise assessments across a wide range of industries, including construction, demolition and heavy manufacturing.
