What is a Noise Risk Assessment (NRA)?


A Noise Risk Assessment (NRA) is a systematic evaluation conducted in workplaces to identify areas and tasks where noise levels may exceed safe limits. Excessive workplace noise can have serious consequences, including noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), fatigue, and reduced productivity


By carrying out a Noise Risk Assessment (NRA), employers can detect high-risk areas, determine the level of exposure, and implement effective control measures to protect workers’ hearing health

Objective of Noise Risk Assessment (NRA) ?


The main objectives of a Noise Risk Assessment (NRA) are to:


  1. Identify employees and areas exposed to excessive noise.

  2. Collect data on noise sources and work practices before implementing control measures.

  3. Evaluate the effectiveness of existing noise reduction measures.

  4. Assist in the selection of suitable Personal Hearing Protectors (PHP) for workers.

  5. Establish hearing protection zones within the workplace.

  6. Determine the need for a Hearing Conservation Program (HCP).

  7. Recommend suitable engineering or administrative controls to reduce noise exposure.

  8. Through this systematic approach, employers can comply with DOSH Malaysia’s requirements while ensuring workers’ health is safeguarded.
