Hearing Conservation for
Crushers, Pits & Batch Plants.
Extreme sustained noise across distributed outdoor sites. Workers move between locations. Your compliance program can't stay in one place.

The Reality at the Site
Why Traditional Testing Fails in Aggregates
Mobile vans can't reach every quarry. OSHA/MSHA overlap creates compliance complexity most vendors can't handle.
Crushers and Screens at 95–110 dBA
Primary crushers, vibrating screens, and conveyor transfer points generate continuous noise well above OSHA's PEL. 8-hour TWA exposures near crushing are among the highest in any industry.
Multiple Pits, Plants & Portable Crushers
Operations span quarries, sand pits, batch plants, and portable crushers that move between sites. Testing workers across 5–20+ locations requires a solution that travels.
OSHA + MSHA Regulatory Overlap
Quarry operations fall under MSHA 30 CFR Part 62 with different action levels and STS criteria. Operating across both jurisdictions requires dual-standard compliance tracking.
Dust and Vibration Degrade HPD
Concrete dust, aggregate particles, and whole-body vibration affect earplug seal. Workers frequently adjust HPD during shifts — without fit verification, protection is uncertain.
Built for Your Operations
How Soundtrace Fits Into Aggregate Operations
Test at the Pit or Plant
On-site
at any location
Set up in a site trailer or batch plant office. Test quarry workers and truck drivers on-site without pulling them off active operations.
Equipment-Specific Monitoring
Per role
exposure mapping
Dosimeters capture actual TWA by equipment — crusher operator, screen tender, loader driver, batch plant mixer.
OSHA + MSHA in One Dashboard
Dual
standard compliant
Both OSHA 1910.95 and MSHA 30 CFR Part 62 tracked automatically. Different STS criteria, action levels, and reporting — all managed without manual switching.
Multi-Site Central Records
30+
year retention
Every audiogram from every quarry, pit, and plant in one dashboard. Workers who transfer carry their full history. 30+ year digital retention.
