Research from Hearing Australia shows that 11% of Australians have experienced hearing damage caused by workplace noise; and between 2015 and 2022, almost 30,000 workers compensation claims were lodged for hearing loss.

The reality of noise-induced hearing loss?

• It’s permanent
• It often goes unnoticed until it’s too late
• It’s preventable with the right controls

With new mandatory audiometric testing laws now in effect in Queensland, it’s a timely reminder that protecting hearing isn’t just about compliance – it’s about looking after your team’s long-term health and wellbeing.

👷 Employers:

• Assess workplace noise exposure
• Supply and ensure the correct use of hearing protection where required
• Schedule audiometric testing for workers that are required to wear hearing protection to safely do their job due to noise above the exposure standard (in Queensland, testing is mandatory within 3 months of commencement of employment and at least every two years thereafter)
