Conduct noise level surveys to assess exposure (measured as LAeq,8h).
Provide suitable hearing protection for workers exposed to noise above 85 dB(A).
Ensure hearing protection is maintained and properly fitted to achieve effective attenuation.

Employers must select hearing protection suitable for the measured noise levels, ensuring compliance with occupational noise management regulations.
