Noise risk assessment template
A noise assessment measuring the noise levels on the site, giving daily noise exposure figures, assessing hearing protection suitability and identifying who needs training or health surveillance is a significant chunk of the noise risk assessment requirements, but is not quite all of it and employers do need to pull all this information together into a noise risk assessment.
But fear not, a noise risk assessment is not massively complicated and if you have the noise assessment, the training, PPE, hearing testing, etc. then you have pretty much all of it. All a noise risk assessment does is create one central reference point for it, effectively one document managing it all. There is a free noise risk assessment template here you can use if helpful.
