What's in it
- When hearing checks become a legal duty. The noise levels that trigger it, plus the rule of thumb for spotting them without a meter.
- What "health surveillance" actually means in practice, and how often it has to happen.
- What's at risk if it's overlooked: enforcement, and civil claims from former staff.
- A checklist you can run through for your own team in about ten minutes.
The quick version
If your staff have to raise their voice to be heard by someone two metres away, you're around the level where the Control of Noise at Work Regulations start asking things of you. That's the point at which this guide is worth ten minutes of your time.

Want your team tested?
We do workplace hearing tests at our Team Valley clinic or on site at yours, across Gateshead, Newcastle and the North East. Tests are carried out by an HCPC-registered audiologist rather than a technician.
