Hearing damage is a serious occupational hazard in professions that expose workers to loud and/or continuous sounds. Over thirty million employees work in hazardous noise levels. Most occupational hearing loss happens gradually over the course of years, making it difficult to notice. But with appropriate measures, workplace hearing loss is completely preventable.

OSHA regulates noise exposures for many industries under 29 CFR 1910.95, Occupational Noise Exposure

Some professions include:

Manufacturing and Assembly
Distribution Centers
Military Personnel
Construction Workers

Those who work near certain chemicals are also at risk.

It All Starts With Analysis

Noise level surveys determine areas in your workplace have hazardous noise levels. Noise surveys use sound level meters for spontaneous noise levels, and dosimeters for measuring the average amount of sound an employee is exposed to over an 8-hour period.

On-site or In-clinic Employee Hearing Tests

We will test the necessary employees using audiometric testing. This will determine the hearing levels of the employee. We provide both baseline hearing testing and annual hearing testing. This service includes interpretation of the results as well as recommendations.

Record Keeping Is Crucial To Compliance

Our reports meet OSHA requirements and are forwarded to your Safety Engineer or assigned contact. Our hearing conservation services are designed to keep you OSHA compliant.

Training Is Included

In addition to annual hearing tests, we can also provide annual training for your employees. The training as well as hearing tests for your employees. Training will teach the employees about the anatomy and physiology of the ear, and what exposure to loud noises does to the ear. We train on the proper use of hearing protection and discuss hearing loss in general. We work with each employer to determine the proper sign placement in areas with excessive noise levels.

Compliance Is An On-Going Concern

When should you have another noise survey done? If you change the work environment, you need to have another survey. A change can be due to equipment changes, building changes, or other environmental factors. New employees must also have a baseline hearing test within 6-months of their start date. We perform those tests in the clinic as your workforce grows.
