Noise Exposure at the Science and Engineering Faculty at Queensland University of Technology

The Problem

The faculty had identified the need for a noise assessment prior to commencement of scheduled audiometric testing for their staff. They needed to know whether testing would be necessary for employees and researchers in the workshop and engine development centre. The faculty was operating on a tight timeline of 4 days within which they expected the assessment to be done and the report produced and delivered.

The Solution

Occupational Noise Assessment
JTA organised the prompt delivery of all assessment technology to the QLD office so that our consultant could assess the potentially problematic noise levels in the areas under question at QUT’s Garden Point campus. During the noise assessment, JTA’s thorough approach uncovered some additional issues that needed attention along with addressing the original occupational noise concern.

How JTA Solved the Problem

•  Recommendations were made based on the results of the noise assessment
•  Other safety issues were also identified in the assessment
•  JTA responded quickly to the request completing all parts of the process within the deadline

Project Benefits to the Business
