Noise Awareness Certificate

Noise at work can cause discomfort, annoyance, or it can cause permanent hearing loss. To protect yourself from the dangers of noise in the workplace, you need to be aware of your surroundings and understand what happens when sound levels fluctuate. Then, you can develop different strategies to make sure you can hear what is necessary without suffering long-term side effects.

Around 17,000 people in the UK suffer from deafness or ringing in their ears after exposure to loud noise at work. The noise at work may be job-related, by a construction site, factory, or nightclub. However, it can prevent workers from participating in many activities, leading to essential safety outcomes like warning devices and communication devices not working correctly.

If you are exposed to everyday loud noise, it will increase the risk of hearing damage. But this damage is preventable if the proper steps are taken, but once your hearing has gone, it will not come back.
