your duty of care & compliance
State and federal legislation outlines Workplace exposure standards / Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) / Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for many hazardous substances, including inhalable and respirable dust, along with levels of hazardous noise. Employers, regardless of industry, are responsible for implementing health control management plans.
Noise and dust monitoring exposure limits are consistent across all jurisdictions in Australia.
Noise exposure limits have been adopted within the Health and Safety Legislation.
Noise Monitoring:
It is legislated across all State jurisdictions in Australia that hearing protection is to be provided if:
- The eight-hour equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level is not less than 85 dB(A).
- A worker’s exposure to peak noise level reaches 140 dB(C).
Dust Monitoring:
Safe Work Australia, in its Workplace Exposure Standards Airborne Contaminants, outlines the exposure limits.
However, the exposure limits vary depending on the dust type, source and composition.
