What level of noise is acceptable for my workplace?
In Australia, Determining acceptable noise levels in the workplace is guided by specific regulations to ensure employee safety and well-being. The National Standard for Occupational Noise, overseen by Safe Work Australia, stipulates that the exposure limit for a workplace should not exceed an LAeq, 8h of 85dB(A) and a peak noise level of 140dB(C). These standards are designed to protect worker from potential hearing damage, which commonly occurs from prolonged exposure to noise over these levels.
It is important to note that these are only general guidelines as many industries have their own additional regulations or exceptions to rules. For businesses seeking to better understand and comply with these regulations, engaging with a noise testing expert is crucial to safeguard your business and employees health and safety.
