Noise Risk Assessment Template

Use this Noise Risk Assessment Template to evaluate noise levels in the workplace, identify potential risks, and implement controls to protect workers.

1. Has a hazard identification for noise been carried out? For example, do people need to raise their voices to speak with someone one meter away? Are there very loud impact noises?

2. Have there been any workers’ compensation claims for hearing loss?

1. Have noise risk assessments been carried out by a competent person?

2. Are any workers exposed above the exposure standard?

3. Is the noise risk assessment current? That is, is it less than five years ago and has noise exposure not substantially changed since?

1. Is there a ‘buy/hire quiet’ policy to choose quieter tools and equipment? For example, noise-reducing circular saw blades.

2. Does the workplace layout position noisy work well away from quiet work? For example, tile cutting and brick cutting.

3. Are tools/equipment and noise controls maintained so as to minimize noise?

4. Is work planned to minimize the time workers are exposed to excessive noise?

5. Are noise sources and noise controls maintained so as to minimize noise?

1. Are compliant hearing protectors supplied to and correctly worn by workers who may be exposed to a noise hazard?

2. Do hearing protector areas have signs in accordance with local regulations?

3. Are workers trained in fitting, use, selection, maintenance, replacement, and storage of hearing protectors?

1. Are information and training on noise hazards, effects, and controls provided?

1. Is an audiometric testing program made available to workers exposed above the exposure standard?

2. Are appropriate actions taken if hearing loss is found to occur?
