Noise / Compliance

The rules are clear. Most systems aren't.

If your workers need hearing protection, you almost certainly need an audiometric testing program. The obligation is straightforward. Meeting it with spreadsheets, scans and email threads is not.

Regulation

Queensland: test within 3 months of starting, then every 2 years. 1

NSW has required it since January 2024. Victoria too. 1

Model WHS Regulation 58 sets the pattern nationally.

Records

Every result kept for at least 30 years. 3

A test done today must still open in 2056.

Dated, attributable, retrievable on request.

Coverage

How many of your workers are overdue today?

Every saved test sets the next due date.

New starters: a baseline within 3 months.

Noise / Assessment

Built to catch the 4 kHz notch.

Noise-induced hearing loss shows up first as a notch near 4 kHz. Every audiogram is plotted to the AS/NZS convention and checked for standard threshold shift against the correct baseline, with NAL-80 and ISO 7029 age correction. When a shift is confirmed, the referral raises itself.

STS confirmed at 4 kHz. Referral raised.

Noise / The program

What you see when you log in.

Not a mock-up: the actual screens your testers and admins use, from finding a worker to the letter that reaches the GP.

Worker search dialog: find a worker by name, date of birth or employee ID, with risk level and last test date beside each result

Noise / Workflow

One sequence, from worker to audit pack.

The same five steps every time, so assessments stay consistent and the admin takes care of itself.

  1. Worker, site, role, exposure. Entered once.

    Worker details re-typed on every formOne worker, one file

  2. Thresholds per ear, checked as they land.

    Results lost in email chainsOne attributable record

  3. STS, NAL-80 and age correction. Never by hand.

    Threshold shift worked out by handCalculated the same way, every time

  4. Worker and referral letters, signed and timestamped.

    Scanned referral PDFs, no follow-up trailClosed-loop referrals

  5. Regulator-ready, whenever you need it.

Noise / Data custody

You're holding workers' hearing data. We treat it that way.

A plain statement of posture: what we align to and how the data is handled. We don't claim certifications we don't hold.

Privacy
Designed around the Australian Privacy Principles for handling sensitive health information. Australian hosted.
Security
Controls modelled on ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A. Aligned to, not a claim of certification. Multi-factor authentication for administrators.
Retention
30-year retention rules with soft-delete: a record is recoverable, and never silently lost.
Access
Role-based access for site admins, client admins and assessors, so each person sees exactly what their job requires.
