Cover your audiometry requirements under the Health and Safety Act

Noise is a part of life, but long-term exposure to loud noise can significantly impact hearing. If your people work around noise, regular audiometry isn't just good practice, it's an obligation.

Healthbox delivers onsite hearing tests that cover your audiometry requirements under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, supporting both pre-employment baseline testing and ongoing monitoring.

Every participant gets their results explained, an individual report, and advice to see an audiologist if required.

Workplace Hearing Tests: your questions answered

Are workplace hearing tests a legal requirement in NZ?
Yes, for noise-exposed workers. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, employers must monitor the health of workers exposed to noise levels above the regulatory action levels. AS/NZS 1269.4:2014 sets the standard for audiometric testing programmes, including baseline tests and regular monitoring.
How often should employees have workplace hearing tests?
Noise-exposed workers should have a baseline audiometry test within the first months of employment and follow-up monitoring tests at least annually thereafter, in line with AS/NZS 1269.4:2014. Annual testing detects early threshold shifts before they become permanent hearing loss.
How long does an onsite hearing test take?
Each appointment takes about 15 minutes: a comprehensive 10-minute hearing test followed by a 5-minute one-on-one discussion of the results. That keeps disruption minimal even for large rostered teams.
What happens if a hearing test shows hearing loss?
The clinician explains the result on the day, provides an individual report, and gives advice to see an audiologist if required. For employers, patterns of threshold shift across a team are a signal to review noise controls and hearing protection.
