HEARING PROTECTION STANDARDS
Noise induced hearing loss cannot be cured, it must be prevented. The damaging effects of noise can accumulate, even if an employee’s 
ear protection is only removed for a few minutes every day. As 100% wear time is essential, selecting the correct hearing protection is of 
the utmost importance. When selecting the correct hearing protection the following Australian Standards should be referred to.
u	 AS/NZS 1269.0 - Occupational Noise Management - Overview and General Requirements
This Standard provides an overview of the AS/NZS 1269 series and general requirements on occupational noise management. The series deals 
with noise as it affects hearing, but does not deal with other effects of noise. It also provides an integrated approach to establishing, implementing 
and evaluating an occupational noise management program.
