Who to include in health surveillance for noise exposures (hearing testing)
The UK’s Noise Regs require anyone who is regularly exposed at work to a daily noise level of 85 dB(A) or above, or who meets the 137 dB(C) peak limit or above, to be included in a hearing health surveillance programme, or as it often more colloquially called, hearing testing. Getting the right people involved is important.
