Protecting workers from hazardous noise exposure is a critical responsibility for employers in Singapore. Under the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Noise Regulations 2011, any work place where noise levels exceed 85 dB(A) must conduct Personal Noise Monitoring to safeguard employee hearing and comply with Ministry of Manpower (MOM) requirements. Personal noise monitoring, also known as noise dosimetry, provides the most accurate method of assessing individual noise exposure throughout a work shift.
Personal noise monitoring involves the use of a Personal Noise Dosimeter – a lightweight, wearable device worn near the ear for continuous exposure measurement. These devices capture accurate noise data including:

Personal Noise Monitoring is the process of measuring the amount of noise an individual employee is exposed to during working hours. In Singapore, companies use personal noise exposure monitoring to protect workers from excessive noise and maintain workplace safety compliance.
Continuous exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent hearing damage and other health issues. Regular personal noise monitoring in Singapore helps employers identify dangerous noise exposure levels and take preventive measures to protect employee health and safety.
A noise dosimeter is a portable device that records the amount of noise exposure a worker experiences during working hours. It helps determine whether employees are exposed to unsafe workplace noise levels.
During a personal noise assessment, employees wear a noise dosimeter while performing their normal work activities. The collected data is analyzed to evaluate daily noise exposure and identify high-risk work areas.
Workplace Noise Monitoring measures overall noise levels in a work environment, while Personal Noise Monitoring measures the actual noise exposure experienced by an individual worker during their shift.
