Noise Management

5. Reporting and record keeping

If a staff member is concerned that their hearing has been impacted due to exposure to noise, they must inform the principal and/or their delegate immediately to organise audiometric testing. Hazards, incidents and near misses involving exposure to noise must be reported in eduSafe PlusExternal Link . eduSafe Plus can help schools with allocation of tasks and management of hazards.

Outcomes of the noise monitoring should be captured in the OHS risk register (XLSX)External Link and regularly reviewed. Results of audiometric testing and noise monitoring assessments should be retained as per the Records Management – School Records policy.

For more information on reporting hazards and incidents, refer to the Managing and Reporting School Incidents (Including Emergencies) policy.
