Instant hearing protection assessments

30 March 2016

Available from Castle Group, the Castle dBAir Sound Meter has a hearing protection database built into it, so it is possible to assess the hearing protection someone is wearing on-the-spot.

If you want to do it afterwards, then the same database is available on Castle’s ‘Cloud’ software that takes data straight from the dBAir via the on-board Wi-Fi.

Using this feature, which comes as standard in the dBAir Safety, the user will instantly be shown how much protection an operator can expect when using any particular hearing protection.

It is possible to pick a hearing protector model and see how it performs, or you can list all the models in order of their protected levels – then you have a list of potential protectors for that task. When measurements are completed, they’re automatically sent to the web hosted Castle Cloud software, where users will be shown a selection of suitable hearing protection for each operator.

The Castle Cloud provides quick, safe and comprehensive data-management direct from the instrument allowing for easy sharing of data and the security of automatic back-up. Castle is currently offering free demonstrations to show safety managers the benefits of the Hearing Protection Database, and how instant hearing protection assessments can make their jobs much easier.
