Occupational Noise Assessment FAQs

An occupational noise assessment identifies areas in the workplace where noise levels exceed safe limits and helps employers implement control measures to protect workers from noise-induced hearing loss.

The assessment involves measuring noise levels in different areas of the workplace using sound level metres. The data collected is compared to regulatory limits, and recommendations are made to reduce noise exposure.

Noise assessments should be conducted every five years or sooner if there are changes in equipment, processes, or the workplace layout that could affect noise levels.

If noise levels exceed the safe limit (85 dB(A)), the employer must take action to reduce exposure. This could involve engineering controls, administrative controls, or providing personal protective equipment (PPE) such as earplugs or earmuffs.

Yes, WHS regulations require employers to assess and manage noise risks in the workplace to prevent hearing damage among employees.

Yes, if you have introduced a new piece of machinery or process, we can absolutely assess the noise it generates and how it impacts your overall site exposure levels.

However, we don’t offer assessments for the public, community noise complaints or residential disputes.

Our assessments are designed for workplace WHS compliance and support your obligations under AS/NZS 1269.1;2005.
