Noise is part of everyday working life. While noise is a known problem in industries such as manufacturing and construction, it can also be an issue in many other environments, from call centres to sports grounds or bars. Noise is something that should be managed where possible. Every year thousands of workers develop preventable hearing loss due to high workplace noise levels. Neither surgery nor a hearing aid can help correct this cause of hearing reduction. This Noise at Work online training course provides a detailed explanation of what sound is, how sound is measured and how the human ear works. Learners will be informed how to identify the source of potentially damaging noise and how noise exposure can be reduced. The course also emphasises the importance of a noise safety risk assessment, the safety controls required and about hearing surveillance to identify early signs of hearing damage.
