Environmental Noise - JTA Health Safety Noise Specialists
Environmental noise can affect the health and well-being of the public. To deal with it properly, there is a lot to consider. Because it's a complex issue, you could need to answer all, or maybe just a few, of these questions.
For now, here are three key questions concerning environmental noise that you will always need an answer to:

1. When are environmental noise assessments required? Assessments are usually conducted in order to meet state legislative requirements. This often includes noisy factories, traffic and construction noise, buildings under flight paths, and venues with live music.

2. Who can complete an environmental noise assessment?
The person you'll need is a qualified acoustic engineer or consultant. They'll also need to have access to the proper scientific equipment that meets the relevant Australian standards.

3. What happens after an environmental noise assessment is completed? A completed assessment will provide recommendations on how to reduce the exposure to noise levels and comply with the relevant criteria. A plan will then be put into place to satisfy the responsible authority.

These three questions are just the start. Other issues concerning vibration, noise transfer, and impact on the community might also require attention. Environmental noise is an important issue that must be taken seriously, and JTA can help. We are one of Australia's leading OHS specialist consultants and have been providing timely, effective, and cost-efficient solutions since 1988. To make sure you are complying with your environmental noise requirements, call us today.

The Importance of Audiometric Testing in Occupational Health

Hearing is one of our most vital senses, yet it is often taken for granted—especially in noisy work environments. Audiometric testing plays a crucial role in occupational health, helping protect workers from noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), a leading workplace hazard.

Why is Audiometric Testing Important?
Many industries, including construction, manufacturing, mining, and aviation, expose workers to high noise levels daily. Without regular hearing assessments, hearing damage can go unnoticed until it becomes irreversible. Early detection through audiometric testing allows employers and employees to take preventive measures before significant hearing loss occurs.

Workplace Compliance & Safety
Regulatory bodies, such as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and Safe Work Australia, mandate audiometric testing for employees exposed to 85 dB(A) or more over an 8-hour shift. These tests ensure compliance with occupational health and safety standards while promoting a proactive approach to hearing conservation.

Key Benefits of Audiometric Testing
✅ Early Identification – Detects hearing loss before it becomes severe.
✅ Regulatory Compliance – Meets workplace health and safety standards.
✅ Preventive Action – Helps implement hearing protection measures.
✅ Employee Well-being – Supports overall worker health and productivity.

Conclusion
Audiometric testing is not just a legal requirement—it is a critical investment in employee health and workplace safety. Employers should integrate regular hearing assessments into their health and safety programs to protect workers from preventable hearing loss. After all, healthy hearing means a safer and more productive workforce!
