Hearing loss in construction workers has been linked with three times the risk of falling. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) created the NIOSH Sound Level Meter app to measure workplace noise and determine if workers are at risk of experiencing hazardous noise exposure. The free app combines the best features of professional sound levels meters and noise dosimeters into one simple tool. The empowering app was created to test noise levels in the workplace, provide information related to risk exposure, and prevent the potential of hearing loss.
