HEARING Conservation

Did you know if noise is loud enough or has certain characteristics, it can cause hearing damage? On-the-job exposure has created permanent hearing loss for millions of Americans, which can affect both their work performance as well as their personal lives. OSHA requires employers to train their employees on noise exposure per CFR1910.95.  This onsite training covers the basics of hearing, warning signs of hearing loss, factors of noise exposure and proper use of hearing protection. 

Training Includes

  • On-site, online and DVD compliance programs around your training needs
  • The hearing program covers proper use of hearing protection equipment, definition of noise, warning signs of hearing loss and typical decibel levels
  • On-site fit testing and hearing testing
  • On-line medical clearances
