An online noise safety course provides employees with a basic understanding of noise, hearing damage, measurement, preventive measures, and the proper use of hearing protection.
In a nutshell: The course helps with training. The company must still assess noise levels and implement measures in the workplace.

Who needs training?
Employers must inform and train employees who may be exposed to noise that is hazardous to their health. The need for such training is determined by noise measurements, risk assessments, the duration of exposure, and the type of noise—not just by job title.
- construction workers
- factory and industrial workers
- employees who use noisy machinery
- workers in areas with impacts, bangs, or impulse noise
What do 80 and 85 dB mean?
In the event of daily exposure exceeding 80 dB(A), the employer must, among other things, provide hearing protection. At 85 dB(A), stricter measures apply, and hearing protection must be used when other measures are insufficient. The limit value for impulse noise is 130 dB(C) peak.
See the current guidelines and measures from the Norwegian Labor Inspection Authority.
What will you learn?
- How Noise Affects Hearing and Safety
- how exposure is assessed over time
- why noise should be reduced at the source
- Selection, Use, and Inspection of Hearing Protection
- Employer and Employee Responsibilities
Is a course certificate enough?
No. The course certificate attests to completion of the theoretical portion. The company must also assess noise levels, select appropriate measures, provide local information, and ensure that protective equipment is used correctly.
Here's how the company does it
- Identify where and when noise occurs.
- Measure the noise level as needed.
- Reduce noise at the source.
- Provide employees with training and appropriate hearing protection.
- Document actions and follow up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are noise control measures always required by law?
Regulations require that employees receive the necessary information and training when they are exposed to health risks. It is not the name of the course that matters, but rather that the training addresses the risks and the measures in place at the workplace.
Can I take the theory test on my cell phone?
Yes. The course can be taken on a smartphone, tablet, or PC.
