Exposure to excessive noise can permanently damage your hearing. The Noise at Work Regulations require that assessment of noise levels must be made whenever there is a noisy environment. In any cases of excessive noise, steps must be taken to reduce this at source. If this is not practicable, then hearing protection must be made available to employees, who must wear it in any prescribed areas or when using work equipment which generates high noise levels.
