Who needs hearing testing?

Under Clause 58, if your workers are exposed to hazardous noise, testing is a legal obligation — not optional.

Plain English: what Clause 58 requires

The Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 (NSW) requires businesses to arrange hearing testing for workers who are regularly exposed to hazardous noise levels — broadly, any environment loud enough to require hearing protection.

This applies across construction, manufacturing, transport, warehousing, and any other environment where hearing protection is required PPE. It also extends to labour hire workers placed into those environments.

Testing isn't discretionary — it's a compliance obligation with enforceable timelines. SafeWork NSW can issue improvement notices and escalate to fines for businesses that haven't met their Clause 58 obligations.

When testing is required
Three obligations under Clause 58
  • 1
    Baseline hearing test

    Within 3 months of a worker starting in a noise-exposed role. Sets the reference for all future monitoring.

  • 2
    Monitoring tests

    Every 2 years for workers continuing in noise-exposed roles. Compared against baseline to detect change.

  • 3
    Existing workers

    Workers already in noisy roles with no baseline on record need one arranged as soon as practicable.

Baseline

Within 3 months of commencement in noisy role

Monitoring cycle

Every 2 years for ongoing noise-exposed workers

Offsite screening · Norwest

A Norwest testing location for small teams and dispersed workforces.

Not every business has enough workers in one place to justify an on-site visit. Our Norwest screening location gives smaller teams, mobile crews, and businesses with no suitable testing space a simple alternative — book workers in and we'll handle the rest.

Small teams at a single site
Only a handful of noise-exposed workers? Booking them into Norwest is usually cheaper and faster than a full mobile visit. Common for small workshops, independent trades, boutique manufacturers and automotive businesses.
Staff spread across multiple sites
If your team is split across depots, projects or client sites, it's often easier to stagger individual or small-group appointments at Norwest than coordinate one big testing day.
Mobile crews or no suitable space on site
Operating from vehicles, temporary compounds, or industrial spaces without a quiet room? Bring workers to us instead. Suits mobile trades, field service, earthworks and civil crews.
New starters and catch-up testing
One new operator needs a baseline? An apprentice starting next week? A worker who missed the last group day? You don't need to book a whole on-site session — schedule them individually at Norwest.
A more private, neutral setting
Some situations suit an offsite venue — repeat screening, return-to-work reviews, or workforce transitions where a discreet setting outside the workplace is more practical.

Frequently asked.

Under Clause 58 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 (NSW), you must arrange hearing testing for workers regularly exposed to hazardous noise — broadly, any environment loud enough to require hearing protection as mandatory PPE. This applies across construction, manufacturing, transport, warehousing, and similar industries.
Under the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 (NSW), failing to meet Clause 58 hearing testing obligations is a breach of your duty as an employer. SafeWork NSW inspectors can issue improvement notices requiring you to meet the obligation within a set timeframe, and repeated or serious non-compliance can escalate to fines. Beyond the regulatory risk, untested hearing loss in workers can also result in workers compensation claims.
Our per-worker rates start from $75 for smaller teams and scale down to $65 for teams of 25–49 workers. Rates include travel within Sydney metro, on-site testing, and all reports. Sites outside Sydney metro may incur additional travel and accommodation costs, which are quoted separately before booking. See our full pricing table above, or request a quote for a firm number.
Once we receive your enquiry, we agree on a date and time that works for your site. We conduct testing on-site using your facilities — workers don't go anywhere. Before testing begins, we assess the space to confirm background noise levels meet our requirements. Individual tests take around 15 minutes per person, so large teams are processed efficiently with minimal downtime.
Offsite testing at Norwest is usually the simpler option when your team is small, spread across multiple sites, largely mobile, or when your workplace doesn't have a suitable quiet room for testing. It also suits new starters needing a baseline, catch-up testing for someone who missed a group day, or situations where a private, neutral setting is preferred. If you're not sure, tell us your team size and situation in the quote form and we'll recommend the easier path.
Yes. There's no minimum headcount for Norwest appointments — it's specifically designed for smaller bookings. Useful for baseline tests for new starters, periodic monitoring for one or two workers, or catch-up testing for staff who missed a group day. Appointments are around 20 minutes per worker.
A baseline test is required within 3 months of a worker starting in a noise-exposed role — it establishes their hearing profile. Monitoring tests are conducted every 2 years while the worker remains in a noisy role, comparing results against the baseline to detect any change. Both are required under Clause 58.
Hearing test reports are delivered within 48 hours of testing. Each worker receives their individual results confidentially. The employer receives a summary report confirming compliance, flagging any workers who show a change in hearing from their previous test, and noting recommended next actions.
Yes. We service all NSW metro areas — Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong — and regional locations statewide. Multi-site programs are managed under a single point of contact, simplifying your compliance records and scheduling across all locations.
Yes. Individual worker hearing test results are confidential health records. Employers receive compliance documentation confirming testing was conducted. Individual results are provided directly to each worker. All records are handled in line with Australian privacy obligations.
