Audiometry

If the noise level in your workplace exceeds the upper exposure value of 85dB(A) then it is a requirement of the regulations that an employer provides health surveillance in the form of hearing tests.

For most organisations the most cost effective method of complying with this requirement is to have the testing carried out on site. This minimises the disruption and costs.

Key benefits - audiometry

• enables you to comply with the regulations
• reduces your risk of being sued for noise induced hearring loss
• can reduce your employees liability insurance
• promotes good employment relations
• on site audiometric testing minimises disruption and costs

What we do

• we identify a relatively quiet and private area in which to carry out the testing.
• we bring our audiometric testing equipment on site and carry out audiometry on individuals exposed above the upper exposure action value as required under the Regulations.
• The tests consist of a simple questionnaire, followed by optoscopy (an examination of the ear) and finally we test the threshold of hearing at a range of different frequencies.
• The results of the tests are given to the employee on the spot.
• Where the tests show significant levels of hearing loss then the employee is given the results in writing and advised, where appropriate to seek further medical advice
