The Noise Risk Assessment (NRA) identifies workplace noise hazards and ensures compliance with the Factories and Machinery (Noise Exposure) Regulations 1989 and the Occupational Safety and Health (Noise Exposure) Regulations 2019. This assessment helps prevent noise-induced hearing loss by evaluating noise levels and implementing control measures.
Recommended Monitoring Period:
Every 2 years, or sooner if changes in machinery or processes affect noise levels.
Required Documents:
1. Noise Risk Assessment Report: Documentation of noise measurement results, noise exposure levels, and recommended control measures.
2. Audiometric Test Records: Annual hearing test records for workers exposed to high noise levels.
3. Hearing Conservation Program: Records of noise control measures and protective equipment provided.
4. Calibration Certificates: For noise measurement equipment.
