Occupational Hearing Tests
Ensure Your Workplace Meets HSE Regulations for Noise at Work
Under the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, employers have a legal responsibility to protect their employees from excessive noise exposure in the workplace. This includes carrying out regular occupational hearing tests (audiometry) for workers exposed to potentially harmful noise levels.
At The Hearing Centre, we provide comprehensive occupational hearing tests designed to help businesses meet their legal obligations — while safeguarding the long-term hearing health of their teams.
Why Are Occupational Hearing Tests Important?
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can lead to permanent hearing loss. Many employees may not notice the damage until it’s too late. Regular testing allows for early detection of any deterioration and enables employers to take prompt action.
Our occupational hearing test service helps you:
Comply with HSE regulations
Identify early signs of hearing loss
Reduce liability and health risks
Demonstrate commitment to employee welfare
Who needs to be tested?
If your employees are exposed to noise levels at or above 80 dB(A) daily or work in environments with loud machinery, HSE regulations require you to:
-
Conduct noise risk assessments
-
Provide adequate hearing protection
-
Offer regular hearing checks
This applies to sectors such as construction, manufacturing, transport, logistics, agriculture, and more.
