Noise Awareness in the Workplace

Course duration 55 - 60 minutes

You will understand how workplace noise damages hearing permanently, how to recognise when levels are too high, and the protection that keeps your hearing for life.

Noise induced hearing loss is permanent. There is no cure, no repair and no getting it back, and it develops so gradually that most people only notice once the damage is done. This course gives you the awareness to protect your hearing before that happens.

You will learn how noise damages hearing, the warning signs that levels around you are too high, and the legal action levels that trigger duties for your employer. We cover the practical controls that reduce noise exposure, how to select, wear and look after hearing protection properly, and why intermittent or occasional exposure still adds up over a working life.

Vital for anyone working with or around noisy tools, machinery, plant or environments, from construction and workshops to factories and events. Learn at your own pace, on any device, with audio recaps included to keep the message loud and clear but not too loud.
