What's all the Noise about!!!

How to stop workplace noise affecting YOUR business.

Why workplace noise levels should be a major consideration for all business owners and managers.

There are four key reasons why every workplace should determine
if their facility exceeds the allowable noise levels.

• Legislation - The Victorian Health and Safety regulations (1992) states that every workplace MUST have a risk assessment performed to determine their noise risk levels.
• Premiums - The result of workplace noise exposure is hearing loss, a Workcover claimable injury. Your premiums are directly related to your claims history. Ensuring that your claims are minimised will keep your Workcover premiums as low as possible.
• Productivity - Independent studies have shown that when noise levels are reduced, there is an immediate lift in productivity, and a reduction in accidents. This is because the staff can obtain and maintain higher levels of concentration in lower noise levels.
• Secondary savings - By reducing the noise levels in the facility, there may be no further need for regular hearing testing or hearing protection equipment. If you are using disposable ear plugs, this represents a saving of at least $200 per employee per year!

It's as simple as... 1, 2, 3.

Step 3

in accordance with the relevant regulations.

Noise, and its related hearing problems, can be a ticking time bomb for yourbusiness.
