It's essential that noise levels and people’s exposure to noise at work are kept to an absolute minimum to prevent permanent damage to workers' hearing. This Noise Awareness course is designed to familiarise you with the risks posed by noise and helps employers and employees recognise the dangers and understand how to keep noise emissions as low as they possibly can.

The course provides you with information on your responsibilities under relevant noise legislation and will teach you how to carry out a risk assessment, assess noise control measures, and implement further changes to prevent harm from coming to employees.
