Online Hearing Safety Training
We live in a world of sounds and noise. On the job, these sounds and noises can sometimes be loud, annoying, and even dangerous.
Because the human ear can’t block out unwanted or excessive noise, we must take an active role to protect our hearing and prevent permanent hearing loss. A hearing conservation program includes an understanding of how our ears work, what noise levels are considered hazardous, how to test noise levels, and how you can protect employees from hearing damage.
Whenever there’s a chance that employees could be exposed to excessive noise levels, hearing protection and hearing conservation training are important ways to help them protect their hearing on the job.
By training your workers to understand noise exposure hazards and hearing protection, you can reduce the risk of employee hearing loss and improve health in your workplace.
