Overview

There are many workplaces that have dangerous levels of noise. Whether you’re
vulnerable to damage depends on the volume of the noise and the length of time
you’re exposed to it. But even listening to music too loud on earphones while you
work can cause damage to your hearing.

The harsh reality is, when you lose your hearing, you’ll probably never get it back.
And no job is worth irreversible hearing loss. Employers have legal obligations
around protecting the hearing of their employees, but even with these healthy and
safety rules in place, many people are at risk. This short e-learning course will help
you reduce or control the risks from noise at work.
