An occupier, after obtaining the baseline audiogram of an employee, shall repeat the audiometric test on the same employee annually for any work area exposed to excessive noise or Noise Exposure Limit (NEL).

Under Sub-Reg. 10(b), subsequently for every employee within three (3) months from the day the employee commences work shall undergo a valid baseline audiogram.

Occupational Heath Doctor (OHD)

As required under Sub-Reg. 9 (3), our audiometric testing centre has appointed a valid and registered Occupational Health Doctor (OHD) to supervise the testing and to interpret the audiogram upon completion.

Audiometric Test Records and Availability of Records

Regulation 11 (b) states that the occupier shall keep an accurate record and up to date of all employee audiograms conducted on-site for so long as the employee is employed by him and for a period of five years after such employee ceases to be his employee.
