Noise Awareness

This course is suitable for employers and employees alike.

The e-learning format is particularly beneficial for:

• Learners who prefer flexible, self-directed study

• Busy professionals who need on-demand access

• Those who benefit from interactive content rather than traditional text-based learning

• Remote teams and organisations seeking consistent training across multiple sites

Our noise awareness course has been created to give employers and employees a clear understanding of what constitutes noise hazards in the workplace and how to recognise and address the risks associated with excessive noise exposure. The course builds confidence in identifying harmful noise levels, understanding legal and organisational responsibilities, and applying practical measures to protect hearing and promote a safer working environment.

As part of our modern learning approach, this qualification is available through interactive e-learning, designed to increase engagement, flexibility and learner confidence. Our digital platform supports active learning through scenario-based activities, short knowledge checks, multimedia content and tutor-supported forums. This enables learners to study in a way that suits their schedule and preferred learning style.

We offer this as a flexible e-learning course, allowing delegates to study anytime, anywhere and at a pace that suits them.

Delegates will be given a three-month licence from first access to complete the course. Once this licence expires, delegates will be required to pay a fee to reactivate it and should contact our Customer Service Team for more information.

On completion of this course learners should be able to:

• State how noise can cause harm

• List physical, social and psychological effects of hearing loss

• State the purpose of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 and recall the key noise exposure values

• Describe assessment of noise exposure in a workplace

• Recognise basic noise control measures

• Identify actions employers and employees can take to minimise risks

Successful delegates will receive an SSG training certificate, which is valid for three years.
