Anitech Audiometric Testing brings certified mobile hearing assessments directly to Shepparton workplaces, helping employers across the region meet WorkSafe Victoria compliance and protect worker hearing health.
From food processing lines and agricultural services to construction and transport operations, Anitech conducts baseline and follow-up testing on-site, eliminating travel and integrating with Shepparton’s operational schedules.
Shepparton’s High-Noise Industries
Food Processing & Beverage Manufacturing
SPC Ardmona operates one of Australia’s largest food processing facilities, with canning, bottling, sterilisation, and preservation line machinery generating sustained 85+ dB(A) exposure. Production line workers, machine operators, and supervisors require baseline and regular audiometric monitoring under WorkSafe Victoria standards.
Tatura Milk and other dairy processors operate pasteurisation, homogenisation, and bottling equipment with significant machinery noise requiring mandatory hearing assessments.
Agriculture & Irrigation Infrastructure
Shepparton’s irrigation network operates pump systems, water distribution equipment, and agricultural machinery across the region’s orchards, vegetable farms, and dairy pastures. Farm operators and irrigation technicians face regular noise exposure from motors, compressors, and heavy farm equipment.
Agricultural Manufacturing & Equipment Services
Agricultural equipment manufacturers and service centres maintain and produce farm machinery, generating machinery and impact tool noise requiring hearing protection and assessment.
Construction & Civil Engineering
Shepparton’s regional growth supports active construction and irrigation infrastructure development with power tools, site machinery, and heavy equipment generating significant noise exposure.
Logistics & Transport
Regional transport and logistics operations supporting agricultural distribution generate vehicle and machinery noise requiring audiometric assessment.

WorkSafe Victoria Compliance for Shepparton Employers
Shepparton workplaces must comply with WorkSafe Victoria requirements under the OHS Act 2004 and Model WHS Regulation 58. 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) monitors hearing loss progression
Shepparton’s food processing, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors universally meet these criteria.
Common Questions About Audiometric Testing in Shepparton
1. Can Anitech test SPC Ardmona and large food processing workforces?
Yes. We have experience with large multi-shift food processing facilities. Testing is coordinated across production lines, shifts, and operational windows to ensure all workers receive baseline and follow-up assessments without disrupting production schedules.
2. How does Anitech handle seasonal agricultural workers?
Anitech coordinates testing for seasonal agricultural workers, conducting baseline assessments during hiring and follow-up tests during employment. Testing is flexible around harvest cycles and seasonal employment patterns.
3. Are irrigation system operators required to have audiometric testing?
Yes, if they operate pump systems, compressors, or machinery generating sustained 85+ dB(A) exposure. Baseline testing establishes hearing profiles; annual or biennial follow-up tests monitor hearing health across Shepparton’s irrigation network.
4. Can Anitech test agricultural equipment service technicians?
Yes. Equipment service centres, repair shops, and manufacturing operations all generate machinery and impact tool noise requiring baseline and regular audiometric assessment.
5. What documentation do Shepparton food processing facilities require?
Anitech provides all audiometric results in formats meeting both WorkSafe Victoria standards and corporate food safety and compliance documentation requirements. Results are securely archived for internal audits and supply chain partner verification.
