IIRSM & IOSH Approved Noise Awareness E-Learning Course

IIRSM & IOSH Approved

Noise-induced hearing loss is an irreversible but entirely preventable workplace health condition. This IIRSM and IOSH-approved course provides a strategic approach to managing acoustic hazards, covering the scientific principles of noise exposure, current legal standards, and mandated noise-level limits.

Participants will gain the expertise to perform rigorous risk assessments, develop actionable mitigation plans, and implement effective health surveillance programs. By mastering the hierarchy of control and selecting appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), employers can fulfil their regulatory duties and ensure the long-term auditory health of their workforce.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the issue of workplace noise and the conditions associated with excessive noise.
• Identify the relevant legislation in place to ensure the safety of all who work in places with excessive noise.
• State where you can acquire additional guidance.
• Understand that the hierarchy of controls should be applied to risk assessments and action plans.

One of the key points this course is intended to teach is why it is so important to undertake and action points outlined in a noise risk assessment. This may include the use of PPE, limiting how long workers are exposed to noise or a number of other control measures that must be understood and followed. Understanding the risks and why controls are in place will mean workers are much more likely to consistently adhere to them.
