This BSA-accredited course provides a comprehensive foundation in noise regulation, hearing protection, and audiometric testing within occupational settings. Designed for professionals involved in hearing conservation and occupational health, the course combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills to ensure safe and effective audiometric surveillance.
This immersive two-day training equips professionals with the skills and knowledge to confidently manage workplace hearing conservation programmes. Through a blend of classroom learning and hands-on practice, participants explore the science of sound, the impact of noise exposure, and the full audiometric testing process – from ear examination to interpreting audiograms in line with HSE guidance.
