OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY |
|
NIOSH Sound Level Meter App |
NIOSH estimates that there are 22 million workers who are exposed to hazardous noise levels every year. In addition to damaging workers’ quality of life, occupational hearing loss carries a high economic price to society.
The NIOSH Sound Level Meter (SLM) app combines the best features of professional sound levels meters and noise dosimeters into a simple, easy-to-use package. The app was developed to help workers make informed decisions about their noise environment and promote better hearing health and prevention efforts. The app can serve as a tool to raise workers’ awareness about noise in their work environment and help them make informed decisions about the potential hazards to their hearing.
