What does 6.2-MANUF require?

Sections 23 to 25 of the WHS Act and Regulation 59 require a manufacturer of plant or structures for use at work to ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, that what it makes is free of risk to health and safety. If noise cannot be designed out, the manufacturer makes the plant so that its emission is as low as reasonably practicable and sees that the manufacturing process adds no new noise hazard, applying and testing the safety measures the designer specified and using materials and methods that bring noise down to the lowest level reasonably practicable. The manufacturer hands importers and suppliers the noise emission values, the operating conditions and methods used to measure them, and any conditions for safe use.

6.1-BLDG Designers of buildings and structures plan noise control from the start and minimise structure-borne noise so far as is reasonably practicable, considering reverberation, layout and workstation location relative to noise sources, vibration-isolated frames, floors and machine bases, isolated plant rooms, acoustic treatment of noisy areas including absorbent ceilings and floating floors, flexible joints, walls, floors, windows and doors with the needed transmission loss, carpeted offices, and sealed, ventilated sound-insulated control rooms
6.1-PLANT Designers of plant ensure the design is without noise risk so far as is reasonably practicable, provide noise emission values, the operating conditions when measured, the measurement methods and conditions for safe use to everyone given the design, and design out noise by preventing impacts, quieter materials, acoustic guards, enclosing noisy parts, quiet drives, motors, fans and transmissions, vibration isolation, sealed doors, cooling that avoids air jets, low-speed pipelines and ducted mufflers, allowing for maintenance
6.2-INSTALL Installers ensure plant and structures are installed, constructed or commissioned without noise risk so far as is reasonably practicable, following the designer's specifications including isolating vibrating sources on separate bases or away from the building structure, and give users information on conditions for safe use including maintenance
6.2-SUPPLY Importers and suppliers ensure plant is without noise risk at supply so far as is reasonably practicable, take all reasonable steps to obtain the manufacturer's noise emission information and pass it to everyone supplied, supply all noise controls as set up in the noise test results, and provide maintenance information for safe use
6.3 Give purchasers and users the information needed for safe use, including results of calculations, analysis and testing, the noise emission values with measurement conditions and methods, peak and where relevant continuous levels, preferably sound pressure at the operator position, the Table 5 minimum test information, and safe-use instructions in a form easily understood
6.4-CONTROL Control acoustic shock in headset work: high-quality headsets with acoustic shock protection, prompt repair of damaged equipment and network faults, proper fitting, use and maintenance of headsets, reduced background noise through room and workstation design, absorption, barriers, quiet conduct, relocated office machines and managed hot-desk changeovers, training to detect warning sounds and remove headsets, turning volume down after changeover, managing psychosocial hazards, keeping mobile phones out of call centres, and baseline audiometry at commencement
6.4-INCIDENT Manage acoustic incidents: the worker removes the headset at once, moves to a break-out area where appropriate, reports the incident and symptoms and discusses continuing work; the PCBU records and logs the event, discusses the worker's ability to continue, refers persistent or severe symptoms to a GP or audiologist, investigates the internal or external cause, checks and removes damaged or faulty equipment, and reviews the noise controls and working environment
