Risk Assessment

Occupational Noise

Workplaces can be noisy - some to the extent that there are risks posed to the health of those who work there. It is a legal requirement for business owners to reduce the risk of hearing damage caused by occupational noise as much as they reasonably can.

When assessing working practices and putting safety procedures in place, follow this Risk Management Guide to help you comply with your insurer's requirements.

What's in our new Occupational Noise Risk Management Guide?

The checklist can be used as a guide to evaluating the safety measures in your organisation. It provides clear information about the health risks associated with exposure to noise, and the safety measures you should adopt for good practice, such as:

  • The identification and demarcation of Hearing Protection Zones
  • The supply and maintenance of ear protection equipment
  • Advice on the reduction of noise exposure and audiometric testing
  • Information and training for employees, and their obligations.

If you fail to implement health and safety measures to protect against and reduce occupational noise, your insurance cover could be affected, and possibly even rendered invalid. Don't take the risk - make sure you understand exactly what's required and that you have the correct procedures in place.
