Protecting employee hearing health with workplace noise assessments under the OSH (Noise Exposure) Regulations 2019, including noise mapping and personal dosimetry.
Prolonged exposure to high workplace noise levels can cause permanent hearing damage. Malaysia's Occupational Safety and Health (Noise Exposure) Regulations 2019 require employers to assess and control noise risks. VGR Enviro's NRA service measures real exposure levels in your facility and recommends practical controls.
Noise level measurements across work areas, identification of high-risk zones and job roles, evaluation against permissible exposure limits, and hearing conservation recommendations.
Manufacturing floors, workshops, plants with rotating or heavy machinery, and any workplace where employees may be exposed to noise levels above regulatory limits.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health (Noise Exposure) Regulations 2019, employers must carry out a noise risk assessment, keep employee exposure below the permissible exposure limit of 85 dB(A) (8-hour time-weighted average), and take action once exposure reaches the action level of 82 dB(A). Our NRA report is structured around these requirements so it is ready for DOSH inspection.
We combine area noise mapping with personal noise dosimetry: workers wear a dosimeter through a full shift so we measure their actual daily exposure, not just spot readings. This shows exactly which job roles exceed the limits and where hearing protection, engineering controls or audiometric testing are needed.
Noise mapping and personal noise dosimetry across shifts and zones, exposure calculation against DOSH limits, a written NRA report, and recommendations for engineering controls, administrative controls, or hearing protection programmes.
The same team handling your NRA can also advise on engineering noise controls as part of our broader plant audit and O&M services, so recommendations are practical, not just theoretical.
