dBadge Noise Dosimeter

dBadge Noise Dosimeter Meter & dBadge Combination Kits

The dBadge system is the perfect solution for the measurement of a worker's exposure to noise.  The badge is small and light, with no cables to catch.  There is also a huge cost saving where multiple dosimeters are required. The dBadge has a rechargeable battery giving up to 28 hours operation, sufficient to perform many consecutive shift measurements without charging or downloading. It is charged using the convenient multi-badge charger in less than 90 minutes. Data is downloaded to a computer using the infra-red link provided. For more information on how the dBadge works, please visit the How to Use the dBadge page.

Why Use a Dosimeter?

When it comes to measuring noise in the workplace, there are two options: a hand-held sound level meter or a noise dosimeter. The dosimeter (like the dBadge) is the best option when workers are moving between locations, between different pieces of machinery, or are working in an area that makes it difficult or dangerous to follow them round with a sound level meter. In these cases, rather than making lots of spot measurements with a sound level meter and then calculating the worker's noise exposure (TWA), a dosimeter monitors for the full working shift and provides you with these parameters.

If you need both a sound level meter and noise dosimeters then please have a look at our Combination Kits.
