Course contents
This training course is broken down into 2 sections
- 1Your Ears & Noise Exposure
- 2Noise Control Measures
Section 1
In the opening section of this course, we explain how your ears work to help you understand how easy it is to damage them and it looks at the damage that can be done. It also tells you what to look out for to recognise the first signs of hearing loss.
Section 2
In this finial section, we look at how noise is measured, at what level it becomes damaging and what must be done when it reaches this point. We also look at noise limits, hearing tests and who is responsible for protecting your hearing.
About this course
Regular exposure to loud noise can affect your hearing. This noise awareness training programme looks at who’s at risk, what those risks are, and how to reduce them.
More than 11 million people in the UK suffer with forms of hearing loss and over 900,000 people are profoundly or severely deaf.
This online course looks at how your ears work to illustrate how delicate they are, how easily they can be damaged, and why noise-damaged hearing loss is permanent. It covers safe noise exposure levels and looks at what can be done to reduce exposure to regular loud noise or to sudden extreme noise.
This training programme will help you to recognise the early warning signs of hearing loss, so that something can be done before it’s too late. High-risk environments for noise exposure include Construction Sites, Factories or Industrial production lines, and some Hospitality venues (nightclubs, live music etc).
Due to abrasive wheels emitting high levels of noise, this noise awareness course works perfectly alongside our Abrasive Wheel Safety Course!

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 require that an employer:
- Must assess and identify measures to eliminate or reduce risks from exposure to noise so that you can protect the hearing of your employees
- Provides hearing protection where it is required
- Provides other controls, if they are required, and that these are properly used
- Provides information, training and health surveillance
- Reviews what they are doing if anything changes that may affect the noise exposures in the workplace
Suitable and sufficient information and training (must be provided) for employees, such that work equipment may be used correctly, in order to minimise their exposure to noise.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 together ensure that employers have legal responsibility to ensure the health and safety at work of all employees. And this includes making sure employees are safe when working where noise can be loud or excessive.
