This 25-minute course covers the controls the company has in place for noise and what staff should do to prevent exposure at work. It helps them appreciate the risks associated with prolonged exposure to noise and identify the measures implemented to control the risks that excessive noise creates in their working environment.
Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent, develops gradually and is a common source of civil claims decades after the exposure. Hearing protection provided but not worn offers no defence. Training staff on why the controls exist rather than only issuing equipment is what changes behaviour, and it supports your position under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations if a claim arrives.
