Hearing Conservation
From Wellhead to Refinery.
Remote rigs, refinery turnarounds, multi-employer sites, and confined spaces. Your operations span hundreds of miles — your HCP needs to cover every worker at every location.

The Reality in the Field
Why Traditional Testing Fails in Oil & Gas
Mobile vans can't reach remote wellheads. Clinic visits can't keep up with turnaround contractor onboarding.
Remote Wellhead and Platform Sites
Workers on rigs, wellheads, and offshore platforms are miles from any testing facility. Mobile units can't reach them — and remote workers fall out of the testing cycle entirely.
Turnaround Crews & Contractor Overlap
Refinery turnarounds bring hundreds of contractors for 2–6 weeks. Multi-employer sites create compliance ambiguity: who owns the baseline? Which HCP governs?
Confined Spaces Amplify Noise
Tanks, vessels, and pipe racks create reverberant environments where noise exceeds ambient readings by 10–20 dB. Area monitoring misses these exposures entirely.
Dual Protection Often Required
Many refinery operations exceed 100 dBA, requiring plugs + muffs. If the inner plug fit is poor, the entire dual-protection system fails — but most programs never verify it.
Built for Your Operations
How Soundtrace Fits Into Oil & Gas Operations
Test at Any Remote Location
Any site
field-ready
Soundtrace travels in a case. Set up in a site trailer or tool room. Test rig crews and field operators without travel back to a central facility.
Multi-Employer Compliance
All workers
employees + contractors
Track audiometric testing for both employees and contractors in one system. Verify baseline status before workers enter noise-hazardous areas.
Task-Based Noise Monitoring
Per task
exposure data
Dosimeters capture actual exposure during grinding, sandblasting, and confined-space work — not just ambient area readings.
30-Year Records Across All Sites
30+
year retention
Every audiogram across every wellhead, refinery unit, and platform stored digitally. Workers carry their full audiometric history site-to-site.
