Using audiometric testing to monitor work-related hearing loss
It is estimated that thirty per cent of Australians are exposed to loud noise at work. Have your say on options to monitor hearing loss in the workplace
We are reviewing clause 58 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017, which sets out audiometric testing requirements for employers in NSW.
We want your feedback on the following options:
granting employers with exemptions from providing regular audiometric testing (current situation)
requiring employers to provide regular audiometric testing for their workers
allowing employers to decide whether regular audiometric testing is necessary for their workers.
