Audiometry Screening

Health & Safety should not be seen as a “requirement” or an additional cost - Rather it should become a company value

The Guidelines on Hearing Checks and Audiometry Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, Control of Noise at Work regulations   Audiometry Guidelines. PDF  (342 KB) place responsibility on the employer to reduce and/or prevent exposure to harmful levels of noise.

Employers have a 'duty of care' in adopting an early detection mechanism of regular screening through audiometry testing. These screening records can also be used to reduce liabilities in respect of industrial claims for compensation.

UrBod Healthcare provide an occupational audiometry service that involves a screening technique used to detect early damage to hearing which may be as a result from exposure to noise.

Identifying any damage ensures appropriate follow-up remedial action in the workplace and any necessary advice or medical referral of the individual.
