Recently introduced legislation places more responsibility on New Zealand employers to ensure that their staff are operating in environments with a safe level of noise, or where suitable protection is in place.

To this end, it is important that workplace environments be assessed to ensure that they meet the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) department, and to protect your staff 's hearing.

Medica Consulting offers a complete service; assessing your working environment and offering advice on remedial measures if required.

We recognise the diversity of workplace environments, and work to find solutions which best-fit you business needs.
