The Original doseBadge
Everything you need for occupational noise and industrial hygiene measurements
The doseBadge noise dosimeter system is the perfect solution for measuring a worker’s noise dose exposure. The badge is small and light, with no cable or controls and mounts comfortably on the worker’s shoulder. The dosimeter is then left on the worker, storing details about the noise levels throughout the day.
The doseBadge noise dosimeter has no controls or display and all control is over the infra-red link to the Reader. The doseBadge case is a lightweight alloy, giving added strength to the already strong cone shape.
The Original doseBadge noise dosimeter is a dual-channel instrument that will measure, store, and calculate the parameters essential for compliance with occupational noise regulations.
These include LAeq, LCPeak & LEP,d and % Dose, LAVG & TWA.
Along with these overall values, the Original doseBadge will store a Time History, or Noise Profile, throughout the measurement, for both channels.
The Original doseBadge survives in the harshest environments
The Original doseBadge noise dosimeter has been designed to survive in the toughest and harshest environments.
There are no cables, controls or displays to damage.
The microphone, battery, and electronics are housed in a durable, lightweight metal case, designed to resist damage from drops, knocks, or even being stood on.
Applications for the Original doseBadge Noise Dosimeter
Due to its unique and robust design, the doseBadge noise dosimeter is used across a wide range of applications where there is a need to assess workers’ noise exposure, such as:
Using the Original doseBadge Noise Dosimeter
Each Complete Kit is supplied with a Reader unit. One Reader can be used to control as many doseBadges as you need.
The Reader is used to carry out the following functions:
The Reader has a built in Calibrator, operating at 1 kHz, 114 dB.
To calibrate the dosimeter, simply push it into the calibration cavity and press the Cal button on the Reader. The calibration process is automatic and the results are recorded, along with any automatic adjustments that are made.
The Reader unit can also be used to configure the doseBadge settings. The doseBadge can be configured to meet the ISO Q=3 (for European regulations) and OSHA Q=5 (for the American standards).
The Exchange Rate, Criterion Level, Criterion Time, Threshold and Slow Time Weighting can be set individually in order to meet other standards such as those published by MSHA, AICHE and ACGIH. See the Noise Regulations page for more information.
As the doseBadge has Dual Channels, it can have Channel 1 set to OSHA, MSHA, AICHE, ACGIH or similar, with Channel 2 fixed to measure with the common ISO 3dB settings.

The doseBadge measures personal noise exposure over a working shift, helping employers comply with occupational noise regulations.
It is a small, wireless device worn on the worker’s shoulder that records sound levels throughout the day, providing a full noise exposure profile.
Yes, it meets the requirements of the UK Control of Noise at Work Regulations and international standards such as ISO 9612 and ANSI S1.25.
The doseBadge is ideal for safety officers, HSE managers, and employers who need to monitor individual noise exposure in noisy environments.
No, the doseBadge is completely wireless and self-contained, making it comfortable and safe for workers to wear without interference.
Data is downloaded wirelessly using the Reader unit and analysed using Cirrus NoiseTools software to generate reports and exposure calculations.
The battery typically lasts a full working shift (up to 12+ hours) and can be recharged using the provided charging station.
Yes, the Reader unit supplied contains an acoustic calibrator which can be used to perform pre- and post-measurement calibration checks, ensuring accurate results.
No special training is required. The system is designed to be simple, intuitive, and easy to operate with minimal instruction.
Yes, it is used across manufacturing, construction, utilities, transportation, and any other sectors where noise exposure monitoring is critical.

Anna Kavanagh
doseBadges are ideal because they don’t get in the way of the day to day working but give me the full picture of what the employee has been exposed to during a typical shift
David Wright
We really do put them through their paces in some very rough and dirty sites but they have never let me down
Greg Dobson
The doseBadge is wireless, virtually indestructible and so easy to use
Richard Willson
I have to leave the doseBadges in all kinds of places around the site, but they work in all weathers
Jody Blacklock
The doseBadge is small and lightweight, yet extremely robust and can be used in the toughest of environments
