What are the legal limits for noise? What legislation governs noise levels in the workplace and when did it take effect? There are some technical definitions that I am unsure of. What do they mean? What is required under the Noise Regulation? Who can carry out testing to determine the level of noise in my workplace? Are there any rules about how noise is measured? How do I know if my hearing is at risk? My next-door neighbour is making a great deal of noise using power tools. Can I do anything about this? Can I claim workers compensation for hearing loss as a result of work or industrial deafness?
