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. NSW has required it since January 2024. Victoria too. Model WHS Regulation 58 sets the pattern nationally.
- Records
- Every result kept for at least 30 years. 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.
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.
