Our mobile hearing testing service assists organisations in meeting the WorkCover WA regulations for Baseline and Subsequent Audiometric Testing of their workers. Testing can be conveniently conducted by our Audiometric Officers across all shifts, resulting in minimal disruption to productivity and maximum convenience. Our assessments will assist your organisation to monitor the impact of long-term noise exposure on a yearly basis, providing comprehensive reports and limit your liability for any future hearing loss claims.
It is a statutory requirement under AS/NZS 1269: 2005 that all workers who are employed in a ‘prescribed workplace’ must complete a ‘Baseline Audiometric’ test when commencing employment and recommends ‘subsequent’ yearly testing thereafter. An ‘Exit’ audiometric test is also recommended when leaving a place of employment and upon retirement.
A ‘prescribed workplace’ is a workplace where a worker receives a representative daily noise dose (8 hr day) of 90dB (A) or its equivalent, or a peak noise exposure of 140 dB (lin) at any time.
If a subsequent test indicates an increase in overall hearing loss of at least 10% from the baseline PLH, WorkCover WA will advise both the worker and the employer of the requirement for further testing to determine if there is a compensable loss.
