Provides an overview to the AS/NZS 1269 series of Standards on occupational noise management. Includes guidance on an integrated approach to establishing, implementing evaluating an occupational noise management program.

Scope

This Standard provides an overview to the AS/NZS 1269 series on occupational noise management. This series of Standards deals with noise as it affects hearing, but does not deal with other effects of noise. It also provides an integrated approach to establishing, implementing and evaluating an occupational noise management program. It excludes the setting of occupational noise criteria. Such criteria are set by regulations or organizational policy, not by Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand. Exposure standards may be found in the occupational health and safety or related regulations that are applicable for the workplace under assessment. Criteria lower than these exposure standards may be set by the organization's noise policy.
NOTE: Noise constitutes only one of many relevant workplace issues which should be considered for assessment as a component of an occupational health and safety survey. The AS/NZS 1269 series addresses the most relevant issues associated with occupational noise management. It does not deal with associated issues such as community noise and general environmental noise. Further advice on those issues should be sought from the Standards that deal with these issues. In undertaking an overall occupational health and safety survey, the program should be carefully planned to ensure that the need for assessment of all other pertinent occupational health and safety issues is considered.
