👶💼 Yesterday’s VIP guest melted every heart in the office!

We had the absolute joy of welcoming baby Celina the adorable little one of our amazing team member Gabriele for a surprise visit. Let’s just say productivity took a backseat to baby giggles and cuddles🥹

As a business owner, moments like these remind me that behind every great employee is a life full of love, laughter, and little ones who make it all worthwhile. Our workplace isn’t just about work—it’s about people, family, and connection.

Thanks for sharing your sunshine with us today, Gabriel , Maryam and baby Celina 💕

🔊 Noise-Induced Hearing Loss: A Silent Cost in Construction
Construction workers remain among the most at-risk for Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL).
Tools like jackhammers, grinders, and saws can reach 100–120 dB, far exceeding the safe exposure limit of 85 dB(A) over 8 hours.
NIHL is permanent—but entirely preventable.

📊 The cost in Australia:
NIHL accounts for 34% of all compensated occupational diseases.
In South Australia, hearing loss claims have increased by 42% in the past five years, adding over $34 million in compensation payouts. (SafeWork Australia)

The impacts go beyond hearing — communication breakdowns, increased risk of accidents, and higher workers’ compensation costs affect everyone on site.
✅ Onsite audiometric testing
✅ Education and awareness on NIHL and noise hazards
✅ Hearing protection fit testing and conservation programs

At OHERM, we believe protecting hearing isn’t just about compliance— it’s about protecting worker’s HEar Health and wellbeing.

👂 Workplace Noise – Are You Covered?

Every day, workers across construction, manufacturing, and civil industries are exposed to hazardous noise levels — even while wearing hearing protection. Over time, this can still lead to Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) if not properly monitored.

Common tools often exceed safe limits:
🔨 Jackhammers (100 dB+)
🪚 Concrete Saws (110 dB)
🚜 Excavators & Bulldozers (90–100 dB)
⚙️ Angle Grinders (95–105 dB)
💨 Air Compressors (85–100 dB)

SafeWork SA highlights that ongoing exposure above 85 dB(A) (averaged over 8 hours) requires businesses to:
✔ Assess and manage noise risks
✔ Provide and maintain effective hearing protection
✔ Offer audiometric (hearing) testing for workers who rely on hearing protection at work

Doing this isn’t just about compliance — it’s about:
✨ Protecting your team’s long-term hearing health
✨ Reducing compensation claims and downtime
✨ Showing care for your workforce’s wellbeing

At OHERM, we make it simple with onsite mobile hearing assessments — convenient, compliant, and tailored to your industry.
