Noise Induced Hearing Loss Prevention for Mining Operations

Noise induced hearing loss is among the most compensated occupational diseases in African mining, yet it is entirely preventable. This programme helps mine teams map noise exposure, apply the hierarchy of controls and run a hearing conservation programme that actually reduces harm. Delegates connect audiometry results to exposure data and control decisions.

What you will be able to do

  • Map noise exposure across mining tasks and work areas.
  • Apply the hierarchy of controls to reduce noise at source.
  • Select and manage hearing protection for noisy environments.
  • Run an audiometric testing and hearing conservation programme.
  • Interpret audiometry trends to detect early hearing loss.
  • Report and act on hearing loss cases and control gaps.
