RAECO Rents is a nationwide rental equipment provider of area sound level and personal noise monitoring instruments to industrial hygienists and occupational health and safety professionals. Our equipment helps Professionals like you evaluate workplace noise levels in accordance with both state and federal regulations.
Typical sound monitoring applications range from mapping sound levels in specific areas to measuring an individual employee’s work shift noise exposure time-weighted average (TWA).
Our noise monitoring rental equipment is backed by our Instant-On Guarantee highlighting our commitment to making your critical noise monitoring initiative a success. Current calibration certificates are included with your rental order as well as free 24/7 access to online video training, user manuals, and quick start guides. Need assistance determining the best noise monitoring equipment to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) regulations?
Our trained technical staff are happy to help!
RAECO Rents offers two types of data logging instruments that assess noise, (1) the area sound level meter (SLM), which measures the intensity of sound at a precise moment and location and (2) the personal noise dosimeter, which stores decibel (dB) sound level measurements calculating a time-weighted average (TWA).
Sound level meters are designed for area measurement, giving you the ability to map sound levels in different areas of a workplace. Our SKC NoiseCHEK and TSI Quest Edge 5 noise dosimeters provide personal exposure data with the following popular meters standardly activated: OSHA PEL, OSHA HC, and ACGIH TLV. Together, these measures establish any need for personal hearing protection equipment and/or the permissible period an employee can safely work in a specific area.
Your sound level meter and personal noise dosimeter rental order includes a calibrator and PC software at no additional charge. Do restrictive internal IT policies prohibit you from downloading PC software to your network? Please ask us about adding a rental PC laptop computer configured with the applicable software to your rental order!
A workplace area or personal noise survey measures sound levels gathering data to aid in the protection of workers from permanent hearing damage while complying with both state and federal safety regulations.
Manufacturing, construction, and transportation are notable examples of those who rely on noise monitoring to ensure regulatory compliance protect workers from the negative implications of excessive noise exposure.
Due to its design, a sound level meter is best suited for assessing area noise levels in specific locations.
RAECO Rents offers both Type 1 (+/- 1 dB accuracy) and Type 2 (+/- 2 dB accuracy) microphone types with and without 1/1 and 1/3 octave band filters. The popular TSI Quest SoundPro SLM meets ANSI S1.4 (R2006), ANSI S1.43 (R2007), and ANSI S1.11 (R2009) performance requirements. We also offer sturdy SLM kits for your outdoor noise applications as well!
Due to its small size, microphone orientation, and software capabilities, a noise dosimeter is ideal for measuring an individual worker’s noise exposure over an entire work shift.
Sound level meters and noise dosimeters capture sound intensity in decibels (dB), with noise dosimeters especially recording noise exposure over time to determine TWA exposure levels.
Yes, the TSI Quest Sound Examiner type 1 microphone SLM we offer is intrinsically safe rated but will not offer TWA calculating capability. Our SKC NoiseCHEK, TSI Quest Edge 5, and Casella dBadge2 IS personal noise dosimeters are also rated intrinsically safe.
Using a personal noise dosimeter on an assembly line worker to measure average noise exposure throughout their shift is a typical application.
Workplace noise levels are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA sets the permissible exposure limit (PEL). Our noise dosimeters also have the more stringent American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) meter to measure the Threshold Limit Value (TLV).
