RoSPA Approved: Staying Safe with Noise

The effects of noise on hearing can be profoundly damaging, often resulting in permanent hearing loss. Not only is this morally and ethically undesirable for any organisation, it can also result in significant financial penalties and personal injury claims.

This course will help the learner to understand how his or her hearing works and how it is affected by excess noise. It will also mean that the learner will be able to recognise noise risks and put in place appropriate safety precautions.

Following this course an employee will be able to recognise noise risks and act proactively to prevent harm occurring.
