In line with the Environmental Quality Act 1974, which governs the amount of noise that is permissible by law (Part IV, Prohibition and control of pollution, Regulation 23, Restrictions on noise pollutions), businesses have to adhere to certain limits when it comes to noise pollution (see detailed guidelines below).
If you are concerned about the noise your business makes, or have received complaints about it, our technicians are fully certified to carry out full inspections as per the Malaysian Recommended Noise Monitoring Guidelines created by the Department Of Environment. The following parameters will be measured:
- Equivalent Continuous Sound Level (LA eq)
- Statistical Indices (LA10,LA50 and LA90)
- Maximum Noise Level (LA max)
- Minimum Noise Level (LA min)
After inspection, recommendations to reduce sound levels will be provided if necessary.
Ambient Noise/ Boundary Noise Level Monitoring
If your business is is chemical based or uses chemicals, then you are liable in line with USECHH Reg.2000 to make a written assessment of the risk created by the chemical used in the workplace. Additionally, employers should make a schedule and conduct Chemical Health Risk Assessments (CHRA) for all the chemicals which are hazardous to health.
If you are scheduled for a CHRA, we can provided assessments that carried out by a DOSH registered assessor, with each Assessment Report valid for 5 Years.
The assessment report covers:
1. Potential risk to workers
2. Procedure of handling chemicals
3. Nature of hazard
4. Degree of exposure
5. Risk to Health
6. Control Measures - Engineering Control Equipment
7. Necessity of Chemical exposure monitoring
8. Necessity of Health Surveillance Programme
9. Requirement of Training

According to USECHH Reg.2000.Part 1, under clause "Duty of Employer", the employer should take necessary action to reduce and maintain the exposure level of employees to chemical hazardous to health to either the lowest practicable level or below the permissible exposure limits.
Further to that, USECHH Reg.2000 also states that if Assessment of Risk indicates that monitoring of chemical exposures is required, an employer shall ensure that chemicals hazardous to health are monitored in accordance with approved method and analysis.
If employees are exposed to any chemical hazardous to health listed in Schedule II, the monitoring must be carried out and shall be repeated at intervals of not more than six month.
