Exposure to noise can lead to hearing damage that is disabling and irreparable. Noise can damage our hearing slowly over time if we are consistently exposed to levels about as loud as a noisy restaurant. However, noises in the range of rock concerts can damage our hearing instantly.
If noise is a risk in the workplace, employers have a legal duty to take action to protect employees to a suitable level. As part of these risk controls, suitable levels of training must be provided.
Occupational hearing loss is a slow process, and any hearing loss that is incurred slowly is most likely going to be permanent. Workers need to be equipped with the knowledge on how to prevent such gradual hearing loss, as well as how to safeguard against it.
This awareness level course provides trainees with a fundamental understanding of the hazards of noise. Anyone at risk of harm from noise must receive adequate training to understand the risks that they face.
