The tsunami of Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) claims demonstrates that current risk management processes have been ineffective and must be updated. Too many people are suffering hearing damage needlessly due to a lack of knowledge of the revised best practices detailed in this online workshop.
Did you know?
Do you know about the following recent revisions to both knowledge and to best practices?
- New HSE noise inspection focus: 300% increase in enforcement notices, reporting errors, PPE issues, rogue consultants... Proactive action is required
- Dramatic legal landscape changes: the changes to the current guidelines will result in a massive increase in settlement and insurance costs. Proactive action is needed
- New dementia research: noise exposure increases dementia risk by up to 27% making it the dominant modifiable risk factor...
- NIHL and accidents: NIHL can double the risk of an accident
- PPE: it is difficult to guarantee adequate protection with conventional PPE much above 90dB(A), above 95dB(A) it is virtually impossible. However, new, innovative PPE options could be an answer...
- Audiometry: it's time to change from costly placebo conventional audiometry to more effective and useful OAE
- Noise reports: there is new HSE guidance plus template reporting to address current poor quality issues
- Noise Control Audit (NCA): how to make a cost/benefit analyses of the modern, low-cost options to reduce both risk and expenditure
- Return on Investment (ROI): how to determine the ROI for your noise risk management programme
Updating hearing conservation programmes to the new best practices is urgent due to:
- Legal guidelines: the recent legal guideline changes mean settlement and insurance costs will rocket
- HSE: the consequences of the current HSE focus on noise inspections
- Dementia and Parkinson's risks: recent research showing the huge increases in both risks associated with noise exposure
This one day workshop provides details of the 5 changes in best practice that must be introduced to reduce the risks of future NIHL by c 90% compared with the current traditional risk management processes that are failing to prevent unnecessary damage.
- PPE use
- Audiometric methodology
- Noise reporting
- Noise control audits
- Return on Investment (ROI) evaluation
It's time to change...
