Noise reduction through Noise Awareness
Org-Delta
offers a solution to the common problem of noise pollution and stale air in workplace
and schools.
Noise and stale air can be very debilitating and even harmful
in environments such as offices, call centres, factories, kindergartens and schools.
The ORG-Delta Indicator Program assists in overcoming these undesirable
effects
and provides annunciation when harmful conditions arise.
The
Problem:
In working or schooling environments we face the situation that
as background noise
increases so does our mode of speaking to overcome this.
Before long our voices are
raised and we contribute to the increase in background
noise as we strive to make
ourselves heard. The result is simply – the
overall noise level rises.
The Solution:
The Noise Indicator provides
a visual signal of where the level is and thus promotes an automatic reduction.
The
Aim:
It is desirable to achieve lower levels of noise even when the indicator
is not present.
To do this the Noise indicator is introduced into the environment
as part of a project to encourage people to develop a greater sensitivity to the
problems of noise pollution.
One unit can be moved around multiple rooms so
that the occupants become more aware and develop restraint.
By means of an
integrated noise level measuring device in the base of the unit the actual level
is measured and compared to pre-settable values.
Smily-Face style indicators
in a traffic light configuration then display the current situation in that environment:
• Green = All is well
•
Yellow-orange = Early Warning
• Red = Noise
level is too high
One recognizes the visual cue that one should tone it
down.
In Production environments this lends itself to objectively showing
the requirement to don Ear Protection.
Modern work practices increasingly
focus on injury prevention of all types but hearing was
often not considered
as seriously as other hazardous factors.
The Org Delta Noise indicator
Program can be used to reduce the risk exposure.
The indicator operates as
a stand-alone device and does not need to be associated with individuals.
The
unit can be adjusted from 55 dB(A) upwards. The yellow and red thresholds are
independently set and
a programmed delay prevents rapid variations from generating
fluctuating visual signals.
To complete the program a three tone gong is sounded
to advise acoustically that the danger threshold has been breached.
The unit
is presented in a solid, long-life metal housing on stable rails for table top
use.
It can easily be moved from location to location as required.

This unit adds a carbon dioxide
detector which measures the amount of the gas present in the surrounding room.
Should this rise to more than 1500 ppm then the red indicator starts to flash.
If it increases further to above 2500ppm then the indicator is a steady red
showing that ventilation is required.
