Noise Control in Mines : Guideline
This guideline was issued to promote the implementation of an effective noise control program in mines with the aim of reducing the risk of noise induced hearing loss amongst the mining workforce. It describes regulatory requirements for noise control management,... Read more
Management of Noise Guideline
The purpose of this guideline is to set out a framework for robust management of noise in the work environment. This guideline references the requirements of both the National Code of Practice for Noise Management and Protection of Hearing at... Read more
NOISE: NEW CONTROL REQUIREMENTS AND HEARING PROTECTION
Areas where the noise levels are in excess of 85 dB(A) (the limit on noise exposure) occur in Anglo operations despite efforts to reduce the noise by engineering control. In these cases hearing protection devices (HPD) are used to protect... Read more
Guide For Assessing And Fixing Noise Problems At Work
This guide provides information on how noise affects hearing, how to assess exposure to noise and how to fix noise problems in the workplace. There is also specific advice for purchasing quieter equipment, some information on who can conduct hearing... Read more
