On-Site Audiometry Testing
‘Preventitive Audiometric Testing’ is required by legislation where the noise exposure exceeds the lower exposure action levels of 80dB(A)
‘Hearing Checks’ are required by legislation where the noise exposure levels are greater than the upper exposure action value 85Db(A)
Hearing Checks must be carried out under the responsibility of a registered medical practitioner (RMP) preferably an Occupational Health Physician
Hearing Checks involve
- Medical Questionnaire on Hearing
- Ear Exam
- Audiometric Screening Test
The regulatory guidelines state that best practice would require use of a sound proof Audio Booth
