Noise At Work Posters
Noise at work posters are indoor safety information displays that explain workplace noise risks, hearing protection and employee duties. Position them where workers can stop and read the guidance before or near noisy work activities, helping reinforce the controls and behaviour expected on site.
Where to Install
Mount this poster indoors on a clear wall or display point immediately before or beside work areas where noise information is relevant. It can also support staff briefing or hearing-protection points where people have time to stop and read. Position it so the large heading is visible on approach and the detailed guidance remains unobstructed at close reading range.
Viewing Distance
This is a detailed information poster rather than a simple long-distance warning sign, so the smaller explanatory text needs close viewing. The overall poster dimensions alone do not provide a reliable maximum reading distance; use the larger sizes when you need the subject to attract attention earlier on approach.
| Selected size | Practical viewing guidance |
|---|---|
| H 210 x W 297 mm (A4) | Best for a close-reading position where workers can stand directly in front of the poster. |
| H 297 x W 420 mm (A3) | Useful where you want greater prominence while still expecting readers to approach closely for the detailed text. |
| H 420 x W 594 mm (A2) | The strongest choice of the three for attracting attention earlier on approach, while the detailed information should still be read at close range. |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
Used alongside your existing noise controls, training and hearing-protection arrangements, the poster can reinforce the information workers need when noise exposure is part of their working environment.

Installation Guidance
Frequently asked questions
Which poster size should I choose? Choose A4 for a close-reading point with limited wall space, A3 when you want greater prominence and A2 when you want the subject to be noticed earlier on approach. Detailed body text still needs to be read from close range.
Should I choose laminated paper or rigid polypropylene plastic? Choose laminated paper when you want a conventional indoor poster format. Choose rigid polypropylene when you prefer a rigid plastic format. Fixing materials are sold separately for both options.
Where should I position the poster? Put it where employees can stop and read it before or near work where noise information is relevant. Avoid hidden positions, obstructed sightlines and locations where the detailed text cannot be comfortably approached.
Can this poster replace a noise risk assessment or other noise controls? No. It is an information and awareness aid and should support, rather than replace, appropriate noise assessment, control measures, training, hearing protection and any specific mandatory signage your workplace requires.

Related noise, PPE and risk guidance
If your workplace also needs guidance on head-to-toe PPE awareness, head-to-toe PPE guidance poster gives you a closely related reference. You can compare the two messages before deciding which one best fits the area.
If you are reviewing several safety subjects at once, use the workplace hazard awareness poster range to compare a wider set of relevant options. This makes it easier to compare connected topics and keep each message purposeful.
To help staff move from noise at work into PPE awareness at work, use PPE workplace safety poster as the next reference. It supports a more joined-up approach while keeping the subject matter clear.
To cover a connected safety need, look at risk assessment guidance poster for practical risk assessment awareness. You can compare the two messages and choose the one that best matches the risk or task.
