What is noise awareness?
Noise awareness means understanding how loud noise can damage your hearing and knowing what you can do to protect yourself. In the workplace, this includes recognising when noise may be harmful, using hearing protection correctly and knowing when to report concerns about noisy equipment or working conditions.
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 require employers to prevent or reduce risks from workplace noise. This includes providing relevant information, instruction and training to employees exposed to noise risks. Noise awareness training should be supported by guidance on the specific noise risks, equipment and safety measures in the workplace.

This noise awareness course is suitable for employees exposed to high noise levels at work. This includes construction and demolition workers, carpenters, manufacturing operatives, railway workers, airport ground staff and forestry workers.
It is also suitable for supervisors, team leaders and managers who oversee work in noisy environments and need to understand noise hazards and the measures used to protect employees’ hearing.

What does this Noise Awareness Course cover?
This online noise awareness course covers five topics:
1 – Noise in the workplace
This topic explores the short-term and long-term effects of loud noise, including noise-induced hearing loss. You will learn to recognise early warning signs of hearing damage and understand how excessive noise can contribute to stress and affect everyday life.
2 – Employer and employee responsibilities
This topic outlines the legislation covering workplace noise and the responsibilities of employers and employees. It explains the role of risk assessment and how employers can estimate workers’ noise exposure.
3 – How the ear works
This topic describes the structure of the ear and how it processes sound. It explains how loud noise can damage hearing and why controlling exposure matters.
4 – How loud is too loud?
This topic explains how sound is measured and how different noise levels relate to hearing risk. It introduces lower and upper exposure action values and explains when hearing protection and health surveillance are required.
5 – Controlling noise levels in the workplace
This topic explains how the hierarchy of noise controls helps prioritise measures to reduce exposure. It covers noise-control action plans, engineering controls and the role of personal protective equipment (PPE), including hearing protection.
How is this Noise Awareness Course assessed?
Whether you are taking the course for the first time or completing refresher training, you will take an online assessment after completing the five topics. The assessment checks your understanding of workplace noise hazards and control measures. Questions are drawn from question banks, so they may vary between attempts.
You can retake the assessment as many times as needed, with no limit on attempts. Once you pass, you can immediately download and print your Noise Awareness Training certificate.
