 Under Section 58 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld), all persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) — including sole traders, subcontractors, and employers — must provide audiometric testing for any worker who is required to wear hearing protection equipment (HPE) due to noise exposure.  

This applies to workers in all industries including construction, agriculture, manufacturing, transport, government, and any other workplace where noise levels require hearing protection to be worn.  

The requirements are:  - For workers commencing noise-exposed work on or after 29 July 2025 — testing must be provided within 3 months of starting, and at least every 2 years thereafter.  - For workers already in noise-exposed roles prior to 29 July 2025 — a baseline audiometric test must be completed before 29 July 2027, and at least every 2 years after that.  

All testing must be conducted in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 1269.4:2014 — Occupational noise management: Auditory assessment.  Non-compliance carries serious penalties. Don't leave your business exposed.

Audiometric testing is a simple, non-invasive assessment that measures a worker's ability to hear tones at various frequencies and volumes, one ear at a time.  

Under the Queensland WHS Regulation, the testing must:  - Measure the hearing threshold levels of each ear using pure tone air conduction threshold tests - Be conducted in accordance with AS/NZS 1269.4:2014 - Be performed by a qualified audiologist or Audiometrist - Be documented and results kept on the worker's WHS file
