4 OCCUPATIONAL NOISE MANAGEMENT
This AS/NZS 1269 series provides guidance and requirements on how to manage workplace noise effectively and thereby minimise
occupational noise-induced hearing impairment.
A cost-effective way to manage noise is to apply noise control measures to existing noisy equipment and processes and to purchase
quieter equipment in future.
For some workplaces, reducing noise levels may require the application of noise management policies, planning and budgeting over
a number of years.
While these control measures are being formulated and implemented. people need to be protected from the effects of excessive noise through hearing protector programs. To be effective, such programs should be carefully managed. AS/NZS 1269.3 therefore provides
comprehensive guidance and requirements on how to conduct an effective hearing protector program as an interim measure for those
people at risk.
