Why digital
Against a paper file, a spreadsheet, or a folder in the cabin.

- Who is exposed is named.
The duty
UK law. We name it. We do not invent a badge.
Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005
Assess exposure. Control it. Provide protection and surveillance where the levels require it.
Who uses it
The person assessing the task. Hearing protection follows what the assessment says.
Sits with
Health surveillance, where the assessment says it is needed. The app records the assessment. It is not a sound meter.
What good looks like
The people exposed are named. The protection matches the assessment.
