- Exposure standard: 85 dBA (8-hour TWA) or 140 dBC peak.
- Effective from: 1 January 2024.
Testing Frequency:
- New employees: Baseline audiometric testing within three months of starting, with follow-up tests every two years.
- Existing employees: Tests must be completed before 1 January 2026.
- High-risk employees: More frequent monitoring for staff exposed to very high noise levels (≥100 dB(A)), vibration, or ototoxic substances.
Competent Workplace Audiometric Testing
All testing is conducted by certified audiometrists or competent workplace professionals trained in occupational audiometry. Testing follows AS/NZS 1269.4:2014 – Occupational Noise Management, Part 4: Auditory Assessment, ensuring:
