The objective of the survey is to achieve compliance with the requirements for noise assessment outlined SHWW (GA); Regs 2007, Part 5, Control of Noise At Work.

• All noise equipment used during the survey will have current calibration certificates.
• Both area measurements and personal dosimetry measurements will be carried out.
• The results of the noise survey will be used to group workers into two populations:
  1. employees likely to have daily noise exposure levels (L _{EX, 8hr} s) 80-85 dBA;
  2. employees likely to have daily noise exposure levels (L _{EX, 8hr} s) greater that 85 dBA;
• Activities and equipment resulting in the highest noise exposures will be identified during the survey.
• The adequacy of any hearing protection in use will be assessed.
• Compliance with the requirement to provide employees with information, instruction and training on the hazard and its controls will be assessed.
• A comprehensive report will be compiled outlining areas where action needs to be taken to ensure compliance with the Noise Regulations and including recommendations on ways of reducing noise exposures.
