In Singapore, workplaces like construction sites, manufacturing plants, and industrial facilities expose workers to high noise levels, posing significant risks to hearing health. Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a preventable yet irreversible condition that can lead to permanent damage if not addressed. Under the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Act, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) mandates an Audiometry Examination for workers exposed to noise levels exceeding 85 decibels (dB) over an 8-hour period. At Envirex Pte Ltd, we provide comprehensive Audiometry Examination services to help employers comply with MOM regulations, safeguard worker hearing, and foster safer workplaces.
Our services include professional Hearing Tests conducted by trained specialists, ensuring accurate results and actionable insights. This guide explores the importance of an Audiometry Examination, the features of our service, and how Envirex supports your occupational health strategy in Singapore.
Why Audiometry Examinations Are Essential
Prolonged exposure to excessive noise can cause irreversible hearing damage, including NIHL and tinnitus, a persistent ringing in the ears. According to MOM’s WSH (Noise) Regulations, employers must conduct a Hearing Test for workers exposed to noise above 85 dB(A) or those with pre-existing hearing conditions. Regular Hearing Tests enable early detection of hearing issues, ensuring timely interventions to prevent further deterioration. Envirex’s Audiometry Examination services offer:
- MOM Compliance: Meet WSH (Noise) Regulations by conducting mandatory Hearing Tests, avoiding penalties for non-compliance.
- Early Detection: Identify early signs of hearing loss through precise audiometric testing, enabling proactive measures.
- Worker Safety: Protect employees from NIHL, improving quality of life and reducing absenteeism due to hearing issues.
By prioritizing Audiometry services, businesses demonstrate a commitment to occupational health, enhancing employee well-being and workplace safety across Singapore.
