Legal basis & training obligation

What's the legal basis for this course?

Noise protection training is mandatory for all companies in Germany whose employees are exposed to a daily noise exposure level of at least 80 dB(A). This requirement is based on several interrelated regulations. The Occupational Safety and Health Act provides the framework: Sections 4, 5, and 12 of the ArbSchG require every employer to assess hazards, establish protective measures, and regularly train their employees. DGUV Regulation 1 (Section 4) additionally requires training at least once a year. Additional regulations apply specifically to noise: the Noise and Vibration Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (LärmVibrationsArbSchV), ASR A3.7 on noise in the workplace, and the Occupational Health Care Ordinance (ArbMedVV). Documented noise protection training helps you fulfill these obligations in a transparent manner and protects your teams’ hearing in the long term.

Who must be trained?

All employees exposed to a daily noise level of 80 dB(A) or more.
