More stringent hearing values may be decided as necessary to control any potential risks identified during assessment of required physical and sensory functions, particularly where duties require the individual to be on or near the line. Where a Train Drivers hearing deficiency is higher than those recommended guidance levels specified above, OH should refer to the Train Company s Internal Standards on the action to be taken with the employee having failed the audio level.
