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.
For more information on the proposed options, download our discussion paper.
Tell us what you think
We want to hear from:
- people who work in industries such as mining, manufacturing, construction, farming or hospitality
- business owners and employers
- union representatives
- industry association members
- representatives from government agencies, the sciences or legal associations
- work health and safety practitioners
- medical professionals
- anyone with an interest in workplace safety.
Your feedback will help us better understand the impact of the proposed options on industry, workers and government.
