Noise

Workplace noise can lead to permanent hearing loss. Explore WSPS resources to identify hazards, reduce exposure and prepare for the 2026–2027 MLITSD Noise Campaign.

Noise Campaign Resources

The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) is conducting a Noise Campaign from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027. Inspectors may review how workplaces identify, assess, and control noise hazards, as well as worker training, hearing protection, and related documentation.

To help employers, supervisors, and workers prepare, we've curated resources aligned with the campaign's focus areas. Being inspection-ready means assessing noise hazards, implementing appropriate controls, training workers, and maintaining supporting records.
