Industrial Mastery Pathway
Noise Advanced: Nuclear (CA)
Tier 2
Operational Overview
Pumps, turbines, ventilation plant. A nuclear facility runs on continuous rotating and cycling equipment, and that equipment generates noise levels that add up across a career, not just a shift.
This course builds on the foundation noise knowledge you already hold and applies it directly to nuclear work. You will look at the specific plant and processes that drive exposure in a nuclear facility, the federal legal framework that applies because of how nuclear work is regulated in Canada, and the practical controls that protect your hearing for the long term.

Instructional Objectives
- Explain how noise-induced hearing loss develops and why it is irreversible.
- Identify the plant and equipment that generate the highest noise exposure in nuclear facilities.
- Apply the federal Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations to their own duties, including why nuclear work falls under federal rather than provincial jurisdiction.
- Interpret the binding 87 dBA Lex,8 exposure limit and the 3dB exchange rate.
- Select and justify controls using the hierarchy of control for nuclear-specific noise sources.
- Understand audiometric health surveillance obligations and the early signs of hearing loss.
