1. Hazard Identification:
   1.1 Exposure to high-frequency sound waves may cause hearing loss and other health problems.
   1.2 Use of equipment that generates airborne ultrasonic waves can create high levels of noise that may cause noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and other health problems.
   1.3 Prolonged exposure to high-frequency sound waves can also cause stress and fatigue, leading to decreased productivity and increased risk of accidents.

2. Risk Assessment:
   2.1 The use of airborne ultrasonic equipment must be assessed for potential risks.
   2.2 All workers must receive proper training on the safe use of the equipment.
   2.3 The work environment must be assessed for noise levels and other hazards.

3. Control Measures:
   3.1 All workers must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect against high-frequency noise exposure.
   3.2 Workers must also wear hearing protection such as earplugs or earmuffs.
   3.3 The equipment must be regularly maintained and tested to ensure that it is functioning properly.
   3.4 Workers must take breaks as necessary to prevent fatigue and reduce the risk of accidents.
   3.5 Workers must also be aware of their surroundings and avoid performing tasks that require high levels of concentration when exposed to high-frequency sound waves.

4. Emergency Procedures:
   4.1 In case of an emergency, all workers must know the location of emergency exits and evacuation routes.
   4.2 Workers must also know how to shut down the equipment safely in the event of an emergency.

5. Communication:
   5.1 All workers must be aware of the risks associated with the use of airborne ultrasonic equipment.
   5.2 Workers must also be aware of the control measures in place to mitigate these risks.
   5.3 Workers must report any incidents or concerns to their supervisor immediately.

6. Training:
   6.1 All workers must receive appropriate training on the safe use of airborne ultrasonic equipment.
   6.2 Workers must also receive training on how to properly use and maintain personal protective equipment.
   6.3 Training should be provided on an ongoing basis to ensure that workers are aware of any changes to equipment or procedures.

7. Review:
   7.1 This Safe Work Method Statement should be reviewed regularly to ensure that it remains effective.
   7.2 All incidents and near misses must be reported and investigated to identify opportunities for improvement.
   7.3 Workers must be involved in the review process and provide feedback on the effectiveness of the control measures in place.
