With the new WHS Regulations now enacted for audiometric testing, WorkSafe WA have released an updated Code of Practice for “Managing Noise and Preventing Hearing Loss at Work”.

This Noise Code of Practice is an approved code of practice under section 274 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (the WHS Act).
It provides practical guidance on how to achieve the standards of work health and safety required under both the the WHS Act and the Work Health and Safety (General) Regulations 2022 (the WHS General Regulations), and the Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022 (the WHS Mines Regulations).

Audiometric testing – WA

The Noise Code of Practice states that a PCBU must provide audiometric testing for a worker who is carrying out work for the business or undertaking if the worker is required to frequently use personal hearing protectors as a control measure for noise that exceeds the exposure standard.

We provide onsite audiometric testing in WA to comply with this Noise code of practice and the new WA WHS regulations (reg 58) requirements.

Find out more about how we can make this process easy, efficient and cost effective for your worksites in Perth and around WA. This can include 2 yearly testing reminders to help you maintain this compliance.
