Hearing Protection & Audiometric Testing Plan

The Hearing Protection & Audiometric Testing Plan is for workplaces where workers may be exposed to noise above the exposure standard of 85 dB averaged over eight hours. It sets out the measures needed to prevent hearing loss or deafness.

It sets out a hearing protection and audiometric testing policy, responsibilities, and procedures for noise monitoring and noise assessments, noise controls, personal protective equipment and audiometric testing.

It includes an audiometric testing register, a noise risk register and a noise monitoring register, so noise assessments and test results are recorded.

It suits manufacturing plants, construction sites, workshops and entertainment venues that need to protect workers' hearing and meet their obligations.
