OCCUPATIONAL NOISE REGULATIONS AND CODE OF PRACTICE


The regulations have the following objectives:

• persons at work are not exposed to noise in excess of the exposure standard.
• noise at work in excess of the Exposure Standard is to be minimised.

The regulations impose responsibilities and duties on employers, employees, manufacturers, suppliers and installers. An Occupational Noise Code of Practice is also available (from the Australian Government Bookshop) to provide practical guidance on how to implement the noise regulations.
