Audio screening
NN Occupational Health’s audiometric screening is critical in establishing baseline hearing results for workers, along with percentage loss calculations for WorkCover purposes.
All industries can benefit from using hearing tests as part of their pre-employment process. This serves the purpose of establishing if any pre-existing hearing loss exists at the time of commencing employment and if this may impact on capacity to undertake the role, as well as to document a baseline hearing level that can be helpful in identifying if hearing loss is occurring in the role over time.
Hearing tests are also a requirement for businesses whose workers need to wear hearing protection, as detailed below.
The Work Health and Safety Regulations 2012 (Version: 1.7.2021, Chapter 4, Part 1, Section 58) and the Code of Practice: Managing noise and preventing hearing loss at work (June 2020) published by Safe Work Australia indicate the following requirements of employers:
“The person conducting the business or undertaking who provides the personal protective equipment as a control measure must provide audiometric testing for the worker:
- within 3 months of the worker commencing the work; and
- in any event, at least every 2 years
