Why warehouse workers need hearing testing

Modern warehouses run loud. Forklifts and reach trucks, reversing alarms, conveyor and sortation systems, roller doors, strapping machines and cold-storage compressors all add up — and in high-throughput fulfilment centres the noise rarely stops. Where that exposure is hazardous or workers wear hearing protection, WHS Regulation Clause 58 requires audiometric testing: a baseline within 3 months of starting, then monitoring every 2 years.

Roles we most often test in warehousing

How on-site testing works.

We bring calibrated audiometric testing to your warehouse or distribution centre, 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.
