Industrial Hearing Tests

You must be compliant with the requirements of the Control of Noise at Work Regulation Act of 2005. Protection in noisy work environments is essential. The act largely applies to the construction industry, however, protection is essential in all noisy work environments.

Regular industrial hearing tests protect your employees and your business from the serious consequences of noise-induced hearing loss. These assessments create documented records of hearing health, identify problems early, and demonstrate your commitment to workplace safety.
Industrial hearing tests identify early signs of hearing damage before it becomes severe. Regular testing creates a baseline record of your employees' hearing health, making it easier to spot changes over time and take action quickly.

We fit custom ear plugs made specifically for each worker's ear size, shape and type of work. These provide better protection than disposable ear plugs or poorly fitted ear defenders, and they're comfortable enough to wear for extended periods without causing discomfort or fatigue.
Testing frequency depends on noise exposure levels. We recommend annual testing for employees regularly exposed to noise levels above 85 dB, with more frequent checks if they work in extremely noisy environments or show signs of hearing changes.
