Construction Noise Are you using protection?
Controlling Risk Co-operate.
Help your employer to do what is needed to protect your hearing. Make sure you use any noise control devices (e.g. noise enclosures) properly. Attend hearing checks. This means you need to take some responsibility for your hearing. Look out for noise hazard signs on site and obey them.
Do not keep machinery running unnecessarily.
Ensure you don’t expose your workmates to your noise. Move the noise source away from the work area or move the work area away from the noise. If possible, shield the noise process by working behind a wall or some other sound-absorbing material.
Wear any hearing protection you are given.
Wear it properly (you should be trained how to do this), and make sure you wear it at all times when you are carrying out noisy work or are in hearing protection areas.
Taking it off even for a short while means that your hearing could still be damaged. Remember that there is no cure for deafness.
Look after your hearing protection equipment.
Your employer should tell you how to look after it and where you can get it from.
Report any problems with your hearing protection or noise control devices straight away

• when lifting to a height from the floor, do it in two stages when two or more people lift a load, one person must
