Training of
Competent Persons
The development of competencies in key personnel is important to enable factories to comply with legal requirements. Six approved training centres conduct training courses on noise monitoring and noise control for competent persons. The duration of each course is three days. As at end 2004, a total of 757 and 347 persons attended the required training courses on Noise Monitoring and Noise Control, respectively, conducted by the approved training centres. Training courses have also been conducted on noise emission testing and labelling. Persons conducting audiometric screening of workers exposed to noise undergo approved training. So far, over 380 persons have been trained. There are currently 12 clinics with audiometric testing facilities and five mobile audiometric service providers. The Ministry of Manpower monitors the practice standards of such competent persons and ensures that the testing facilities meet requirements. |
