Introduction(
The purpose is to identify the high noise areas and recommend necessary
corrective actions to overcome the unhealthy conditions.
Noise level survey within plant after commissioning of new plant or
equipments is done once in six months for three times. After this noise mapping
of the area is done and regular survey is stopped. Noise level survey on the
periphery of factory is done once in six month to ensure the compliance with
the statutory norms.
Procedure (
Noise level survey is carried with the help of sound level meter Optel
or any other reputed make. And report is issued in the form described
in 2.!"A#.
$ound level meter is calibrated at %&'(%) *ombay once in a year.
$ound level meter has measurement range ! to +! d* and frequency
range +., to -!!! ./. %t has four indication ranges i.e. ! to -!) ,!
to +!! 0 -! to +! d*. Noise levels are measured in d*A scale.
(onitoring is done at (ax. hold position with wind screen on the
microphone. All readings are taken at +1(eter distance from the
source.

2or existing plant) noise mapping is done and noise contour diagrams
are prepared. These are displayed in the plant for reference and
identification of high noise level area.
2or new area3equipments noise level monitoring reports are prepared
and engineering and administrative recommendations are worked out
wherever feasible. 4opy of report is sent to plant .O& of respective
plant for necessary action like) intallation of caution board)
demarkation of area or control of noise at source through engineering
measures at their end.
%n case if noise in peripheral area is found higher than the norms) the
source will be investigated by 'nv. 4ell and concerned plant .O&
will be informed to take corrective measure.
