Audiometric Testing in Sale
Sale, located in the Gippsland region, operates as a critical hub for oil and gas operations, aerospace and defence, and regional services. With ESSO’s Gippsland Basin offshore operations, RAAF Sale air base, and related maritime and defence logistics, Sale creates extreme high-noise work environments requiring rigorous hearing protection. Anitech Audiometric Testing brings certified mobile hearing assessments directly to Sale workplaces, helping employers meet WorkSafe Victoria compliance and protect worker hearing health in these high-exposure sectors.
From oil and gas operations and defence facilities to construction and regional services, Anitech conducts baseline and follow-up testing on-site, eliminating travel and integrating with operational schedules and military requirements.
Sale’s High-Noise Industries
Oil & Gas Operations — ESSO Gippsland Basin
ESSO’s Gippsland Basin offshore operations represent some of Australia’s most significant petrochemical noise exposure. Offshore and support workers face extreme noise from turbine/compressor systems, drilling equipment, vessel operations, and platform machinery generating sustained 90+ dB(A) exposure. Offshore personnel, support crews, logistics workers, and facility staff require baseline and regular audiometric monitoring under stringent WorkSafe Victoria and offshore safety standards.
Defence & Aerospace — RAAF Sale
RAAF Sale air base operates high-noise aerospace operations including flight operations, aircraft maintenance, weapons handling, and training. Military personnel and support staff face sustained high-noise exposure from jet engines, ground equipment, and aircraft maintenance operations requiring baseline and regular audiometric assessment under defence WHS protocols.
Maritime & Port Operations
Port of Sale and maritime operations generate noise from ship operations, cargo handling, and vessel maintenance.
Construction & Civil Engineering
Regional construction and infrastructure projects generate power tools, site machinery, and heavy equipment noise.
Healthcare & Regional Services
Regional healthcare and aged care facilities require audiometric testing for equipment operators and facility maintenance personnel.

Why Sale Employers Choose Anitech
Oil & Gas Operations Compliance Expertise
We understand extreme high-noise offshore and support operations, including ESSO compliance protocols, offshore safety standards, and complex logistics. Testing is coordinated with offshore rotation schedules, platform downtime, and support vessel operations.
Defence & Military Operations Experience
Anitech conducts testing at defence facilities including RAAF bases, understanding military security protocols, defence WHS requirements, and operational constraints.
Extreme High-Noise Environment Specialisation
Sale’s offshore operations and RAAF base represent extreme high-noise environments. Anitech specialises in testing for workers facing 90+ dB(A) sustained exposure, with expertise in rapid audiometric assessment and documentation of hearing loss progression.
Mobile Testing at Your Site
No travel delays. Anitech’s equipped mobile unit parks at your Sale facility, offshore support centre, or RAAF location, conducting baseline and follow-up tests during operational windows or scheduled breaks.
WorkSafe Victoria Certified Reporting
All tests meet Victoria’s OHS Act 2004 and Model WHS Regulation 58 requirements. For defence operations, testing also meets Commonwealth defence WHS standards.
WorkSafe Victoria Compliance for Sale Employers
Sale workplaces must comply with WorkSafe Victoria requirements under the OHS Act 2004 and Model WHS Regulation 58. For RAAF and defence facilities, testing also meets Commonwealth Defence WHS standards. Audiometric testing is mandatory where:
- Workers are exposed to noise at 85 dB(A) or above
- Workers are frequently required to wear hearing protection equipment (HPE)
- Baseline testing establishes individual hearing profiles
- Follow-up testing (typically annual, often more frequent in extreme-noise roles) monitors hearing loss progression
Sale’s oil and gas and defence sectors operate far above these thresholds with sustained extreme-noise exposure.
