WHAT IS NOISE RISK ASSESSMENT (NRA)?

Noise Risk Assessment (NRA) is a structured and essential process designed to identify hazardous noise sources in the workplace and evaluate how they affect employees. The key objectives of conducting a Noise Risk Assessment (NRA) are to measure noise exposure levels, define noise-contour zones, monitor individual exposure and recommend effective control measures to protect workers' hearing. Under the Occupational Safety and Health (Noise) Regulations 2019, employers are legally required to appoint or engage a qualified Noise Risk Assessor (NRA) to carry out this assessment in full compliance with safety standards. Tools such as dosimeters are commonly used during the Noise Risk Assessment (NRA) to accurately monitor and record employee noise exposure throughout their working hours.

The assessor is collecting noise data during area monitoring as part of the Noise Risk Assessment (NRA).

The purpose of a Noise Risk Assessment (NRA) is to identify specific areas in the workplace where noise levels pose a potential risk and to recognize employees who may be exposed to dangerous levels of noise that could lead to hearing damage or loss. By conducting a thorough Noise Risk Assessment (NRA), employers can determine where further measurements are needed and what steps must be taken to control or reduce noise exposure. This process ensures that effective noise control strategies are implemented and that the workplace meets all regulatory requirements for occupational noise exposure.
