Audiometric testing

The requirement for audiometric testing of employees is governed by the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.

 

• the levels of exposure to noise of your employees averaged over a working day or week; and
• the maximum noise (peak sound pressure) to which employees are exposed in a working day.

• lower exposure action values:
  • daily or weekly exposure of 80 dB;
  • peak sound pressure of 135 dB;
• upper exposure action values:
  • daily or weekly exposure of 85 dB;
  • peak sound pressure of 137 dB.
