Noise Q6
Are there any rules about how noise is measured?
  • Noise levels must be measured based on the Australian Standard (AS 1269.1:1998 Occupational Noise Management Part 1: Measurement and assessment of noise emission and exposure).
  • Noise levels must be measured at the person’s ears or an equivalent position. 
  •  Noise levels must not be measured based on any assumption that a person will be wearing hearing protection.
