Noise exposure can cause irreversible hearing loss.
Noise exposure is the commonest preventable cause of occupational hearing loss. Once acquired, it is irreversible and can have a significant impact on a worker’s life. Workers’ compensation claims can also be costly and damage the reputation of employers.
In many states in Australia it is mandatory that workers in noisy workplaces have their hearing tested (audiometric testing) within three months of starting work and then every two years. Safe Work Australia recommends this approach, too.
