Worksafe Noise Survey
As distinct from mine sites, other work places are required to provide a safe workplace. As part of that, occupational noise exposure needs to be considered as part of a safe workplace. Although, a noise survey is not required every 5 years, an occupational noise survey still provides valuable information regarding the noise exposure of employees and a starting point for any noise reduction strategy. A noise survey is required to be undertaken if a significant change to the workplace occurs that alters the noise exposure of personnel (i.e. new equipment etc.)
