SANO Safety Program

Audiometry

SANO's Audiometry program provides onsite hearing testing to support mine sites in protecting worker wellbeing while meeting legislative requirements for employees routinely exposed to noise

Exposure to hazardous noise levels remains a significant risk across many industrial and operational environments. Without proper monitoring, prolonged exposure can lead to irreversible hearing loss, impacting both worker wellbeing and long-term employability. Under WHS Regulations (r.58), organisations have a legal obligation to provide audiometric testing for workers who are required to frequently use hearing protection as a control measure for noise that exceeds exposure standards.

The SANO Audiometry Program exists to help organisations meet this obligation while proactively protecting the hearing health of their workforce.

Program Delivery Includes:

  • Pre-site coordination and scheduling based on compliance data

  • Identification and communication of noncompliant personnel

  • On-site audiometric testing conducted in appropriate environments

  • Collaboration with workplace management to facilitate attendance

  • Testing undertaken well into shifts to capture temporary hearing changes

  • Ongoing testing cycles conducted at minimum every two years

This structured approach ensures testing is efficient, compliant and embedded into workplace operations, while providing organisations with accurate, actionable insights into workforce hearing health over time. Following the completion of the testing, the Audiometric results are provided to individuals and the management teams with a structured outline of those who require follow up testing.
