Does this apply to retail premises as well as industrial premises?I've worked in several plants where the ambient noise level was over 85 dB and therefore the employer had a legal obligation to provide all employees with ear protection. But most staff in nightclubs and bars don't wear earplugs, even though the ambient noise level is much higher.

They certainly have to provide you withear plugs/defenders, and the louder the noise you are exposed to, the shorter time you can work with longer statutory breaks. Signing your agreement is irrelevant too, you can't waive your rights to H&S at Work. If you choose to not bother with wearing the PPE, that's up to you, but the employer has to make provision.
And I'm sure they are paid up to date with their PRS/PPL aren't they? Yeeeeeah, of course they are, but possibly worth checking.....
