Common risks include:

• Exposure to loud machinery and power tools

• Continuous workshop or construction noise

• Not wearing hearing protection when required

• Incorrect or poorly fitting hearing protection

• Long periods of noise exposure without breaks

Simple ways to reduce risk:

• Identify noisy tasks and areas on site

• Reduce noise where possible (equipment, distance, rotation)

• Always wear hearing protection when required

• Make sure hearing protection fits properly

• Replace damaged or worn PPE

• Report excessive noise or concerns early

Noise above 85 dB can cause hearing damage over time, and at 100 dB, damage can occur in just 15 minutes.

Taking a few minutes to identify and manage noise risks can prevent permanent hearing damage and protect long-term health.
