Noise Awareness
Noise at work can cause hearing damage that is
permanent and disabling. This damage is
preventable if the right steps are taken but once
your hearing has gone it will not come back. It can
also interfere with communications by stopping
people from being able to understand or follow
conversations and it can make verbal warnings or
alarms harder to hear. These issues can lead to
further safety risks that put people at risk of injury or even death. This
course will show you how dangerous noise can be in the workplace,
and the main safety issues you should be aware of. It will take you
through some of the simple science, the main laws that apply and
introduce you to noise level limits. It also covers some of the specific
health risks and how to avoid them by producing risk assessments,
action plans and through the provision of appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment. It concludes by examining how to provide
information and instruction to employees, along with the most
professional way to conduct health surveillance of the workforce.
