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.
Many industries in Singapore require occupational noise monitoring, including:
Employees working near loud machinery or equipment are at higher risk of noise exposure.
Professional personal noise monitoring services use specialized devices such as:
A noise dosimeter is usually worn by employees during work shifts to measure personal noise exposure levels throughout the day.
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.
In general, prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85 dB (decibels) may increase the risk of hearing loss. Professional noise exposure assessments help identify whether workplace noise exceeds safe limits.
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.
Businesses should conduct regular personal noise monitoring assessments, especially:
Routine monitoring helps maintain a safer working environment.
Professional personal noise monitoring services in Singapore provide several benefits:
Employees exposed to high workplace noise may experience:
These signs indicate the need for professional noise exposure monitoring.
Yes. Regular occupational noise monitoring helps companies comply with workplace safety and occupational health regulations by ensuring employee noise exposure remains within acceptable limits.
Businesses can reduce employee noise exposure by:
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.
An experienced personal noise monitoring company provides accurate measurements, detailed reports, compliance support, and practical recommendations to help businesses create safer and healthier work environments for employees.
