Why Occupational Audiometry?
Noise costs people their hearing; it can also cost employers money through absenteeism, reduced productivity, medical costs and increasing compensation claims. In fact noise ranks only second to physical injury as an occupational health hazard. Today large amounts of money are being lost yearly in out of court settlements. Cases in the civil court are a regular occurrence. the cost of a good Screening Programme is soon recovered if a few spurious claims are avoided. The only way to assess whether your hearing protection is working is Audiometry.
