Coastal Bend ASSP Meeting – May 2026

Topic: Understanding Noise Dosimetry: Protecting Workers Beyond the Decibel

Is workplace noise a hidden risk in your facility? This session will clarify employer responsibilities, applicable standards and regulations, and how to accurately determine noise levels using dosimetry. We’ll walk through interpreting exposure data, recognizing when noise becomes a problem, and understanding the real impact on worker health—all in practical, actionable terms.

From there, we’ll cover control strategies starting with engineering solutions, then administrative measures, and finally hearing protection. You’ll also get a forward look at upcoming regulatory changes and emerging technologies in noise monitoring. Leave with a clear, manageable approach to building a compliant and effective noise dosimetry program.

Three Key Takeaways: 

• Employer responsibilities
• Standards and regulations
• Determining noise levels
