Why construction crews need hearing testing

Construction is one of the noisiest industries in NSW. Jackhammers, concrete saws, angle grinders, excavators, piling rigs and nail guns routinely push noise past the point where hearing protection becomes mandatory PPE. Once your workers rely on earplugs or earmuffs to do their job, WHS Regulation Clause 58 requires you to provide audiometric testing — and noise-induced hearing loss is permanent, so catching an early shift matters.

Roles we most often test on construction sites

How on-site testing works.

We bring calibrated audiometric testing to your construction site, so your workers don't lose half a day travelling to a clinic. Each test takes about 15 minutes, and we plan around your program and shift starts to keep disruption to a minimum.

One requirement: we need a quiet-enough space on site (a site office or crib room usually works). We check background noise before testing begins, and if it's a problem we'll tell you before booking — not on the day. On-site testing has a 5-worker minimum; smaller crews can come to our Norwest location.

See published per-worker pricing (from $65/worker, travel within Sydney metro included).

Staying compliant with Clause 58.

Once hazardous noise is present, WHS Regulation Clause 58 requires a baseline hearing test for each worker within 3 months of starting in the role, then monitoring tests every 2 years. The obligation sits with the business, not the worker. Our plain-English guide to Clause 58 explains exactly who's covered and what's required.
