What Is a Noise Risk Assessment (NRA)?

A Noise Risk Assessment identifies and evaluates areas in your workplace where employees are exposed to harmful noise levels.

It is a legal requirement for all workplaces with potential noise hazards, enforced by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), Malaysia.

An NRA determines:

  • Which workers are exposed to excessive noise
  • The degree and duration of exposure
  • Appropriate control measures to reduce risks

This assessment supports your compliance with DOSH regulations and aligns with ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System requirements.

Why It’s Important

  • Protects workers from noise-induced hearing loss
  • Complies with DOSH and FMA (Noise Exposure) Regulations 1989
  • Supports ISO 45001 certification and HIRARC implementation
  • Reduces absenteeism and improves productivity
  • Identifies cost-effective noise control measures
