(a) before any alteration is made to plant used or a system of work that is likely to result in exposure to noise above the noise exposure standard; or

(b) if the report by the person who conducts an audiological examination under regulation 38 states that the employee has suffered hearing loss that is likely to be due to exposure to noise; or

(c) after any incident occurs to which Part 5 of the Act applies that involves exposure to noise above the noise exposure standard; or

(d) if, for any other reason, the risk control measures do not adequately control noise exposure to a level at or below the noise exposure standard; or

(2) A health and safety representative may make a request under subregulation (1)(e) if the health and safety representative believes on reasonable grounds that—

(a) any of the circumstances referred to in subregulation (1)(a) to (d) exists; or

(ii) to take account of any of the circumstances referred to in subregulation (1)(a) to (d) in conducting a review of, or revising, the risk control measures.
