Noise resources

The RNID, the largest charity campaigning for deaf and hard of hearing people, has produced some new resources on the prevention of occupational hearing loss in the entertainment sector.

Materials, which include information sheets and new ear plugs, are tied in with new HSE guidance on the control of noise at work in music and entertainment. The Noise at Work Regulations were extended to these sectors in April this year.

Information is available on the RNID website: www.dontlosethemusic.com
