The EU Physical Agents Directive on Noise, which will be
implemented into UK law in February 2006, will reduce noise action
levels drastically. Under the new regulations, many more
industries, which have so far not been associated with high noise
levels such as restaurants and call centres, will have to assess
the noise levels in their businesses and monitor their employees'
hearing according to HSE guidelines.
This practical guide gives occupational health nurses everything
they need to know about setting up and managing hearing
conservation programmes, as well as how to carry out the
audiometric tests. The text fully covers the syllabus of BSA
accredited courses for the certificate of competence in Industrial
Audiometry and includes practical examples, case studies, sample
audiograms and questionnaires for setting up case histories. As the
BSA syllabus is based on the HSE's guidelines, the book will be a
useful training manual and up-to-date reference for Health and
Safety professionals, Occupational Health professionals, and HSE
inspectors.
Dr Maryanne Maltby is an Audiological Scientist and Principal
Lecturer on the Amplivox courses in Industrial Audiometry. She has
previously taught Audiology and related subjects at Manchester
University (Course Leader) and at Oxford Brookes University. She is
a committee member of the Hearing Aid Council and a member of the
British Society of Audiology. She also has wide consultancy
experience in workplace training and advice on hearing conservation
issues, fitting hearing protection, management of hearing and
