An on-site noise survey is the first step in minimising noise induced hearing loss. *ACC statistics 2012. Don’t gamble with safety. HEARING PROTECTION A quarter of the NZ workforce are affected to some degree by harmful noise at work.* 119 HEARING PROTECTION STEP 2 – DETAILED ASSESSMENT If the preliminary noise survey averages over 84dB over an 8 hour period a detailed assessment is required. A formal noise survey should be carried out by an occupational hygienist or specially trained occupational health nurse. The assessment will: (a) Q uantify the amount of noise to which employees are exposed Noise Induced Hearing Loss may not be noticed for many years, until the damage has been done and the symptoms become a problem for the sufferer – and those around them. That’s why it is important to proactively reduce excessive exposure to noise to prevent hearing loss. NOISE EXPOSURE TIMES Understanding noise and exposure times If the noise source is doubled 83dB The noise level only goes up 3 dB 86dB Small increases in decibel level 89dB Represent enormous increases in noise level and risk 92dB Your exposure time to noise is also an important factor in selecting protection levels. The class system rating is based on an 8-hour exposure. Anything beyond 8 hours exposure time and the protection level needs to increase. (c) H elp in developing noise control strategies (d) Determine appropriate hearing protector needs STEP 3 – CONTROL ELIMINATE – if practicable, control noise at source ISOLATE – where practicable move noise sources away from employees MINIMISE – Provide hearing protectors or use enclosures to reduce the amount of noise emitted. STEP 4 – HEARING PROTECTORS If hearing protectors are being used as a control, you must consider 1. S taff education as to the need for hearing protectors 2. Define hearing protector areas with signage 3. P rovide a selection of hearing protectors (not one will fit all) 4. Issuing hearing protectors to individuals and validation of the fit to the individual user 5. C leaning and maintenance of hearing protectors 6. T raining and education for people wearing hearing protectors. STEP 5 -MONITORING Monitor the health effects of noise in the workplace (hearing testing) and notify any serious harm (any signs of hearing loss). An occupational hygienist or specially trained occupational health nurse should conduct testing: This class system simplifies selection processes of hearing protectors. The SLC80 (Sound Level Conversion) is a laboratory estimate of the amount of attenuation (noise reduction) achievable by 80% of informed users with a particular hearing protector. Being a population based rating some users will get more attenuation and some will get less. 110 dB CLASS 5 STEP 1 – NOISE SURVEY Conduct a preliminary noise survey to identify any possible noise hazards. (b) Identify sources of noise NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS (NIHL) IS THE MOST COMMON, PERMANENT AND PREVENTABLE OCCUPATIONAL INJURY IN THE WORLD. World health organization report on occupational noise. The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale so small numerical changes represent enormous physical changes. An increase of 3dB from 83dB to 86dB is double the noise and 86dB to 89dB is double that again. 120 Understanding the class system and SLC80 rating FOR EXAMPLE Pneumatic Chipper 106 dB 105 dB CLASS 4 HEARING PROTECTION HEARING LOSS Five step programme FOR EXAMPLE Impact Wrench 102 dB 100 dB EXTREMELY LOUD CLASS 3 ASK OUR NZ SAFETY STAFF ON HOW TO SET UP A NOISE CONTROL PROGRAMME CLASS SYSTEM FOR EXAMPLE Bulldozer 100 dB 95 dB FOR EXAMPLE CLASS 2 THE APPROVED CODE OF PRACTICE FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF NOISE IN THE WORKPLACE 2002 States that “Immediately it is known that employees are being exposed to noise that exceeds the exposure limits, an employer must develop and implement a noise control programme.” HEARING PROGRAMME Industrial Fire Arm 95 dB (i.e. Ramset Nail Gun) Table Saw 93 dB 90 dB CLASS 1 CODE OF PRACTICE FOR EXAMPLE Forklift 87 dB 85 dB If the average eight hour noise exposure is at or above 85dB hearing protection is required.

Available in both foam disposable and re-usable ranges. 1. COMFORT Will the wearer be comfortable wearing the protector. Consider the conditions worked in, is it hot or cold etc 2. NOISE REDUCTION Will the protector reduce the noise level enough 3. SIZE Will the earplugs fit correctly in the ear canal. Not too loose or too tight 4. COMMUNICATION NEEDS Are there audible warnings or alarms that need to be heard 5. SPECIAL JOB REQUIREMENTS Is there restricted access or object that could limit size of the protectors 6. CLEANLINESS Will the wearer be working in a hygienic or toxic area and need to dispose of the protector 7. COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER PPE Helmets, shields, hats, glasses etc. All need to be considered IN NZ HEARING PROTECTORS ARE REQUIRED TO BE CERTIFIED TO THE AS/NZS 1270: 2002 ACOUSTICS HEARING PROTECTORS STANDARD. • This creates an exceptionally good fit • Provides a high level of protection • Are compatible with most other PPE • Do not hold in heat around the ear Wearing hearing protectors that block too much noise (overprotection) has a negative effect. Re-usable earplugs Audiologists often see more hearing loss in workers who ‘cheat’ on the fit and wear time of their earplugs. Earbands Re-usable plugs do not require roll down.
