Hearing Protection

22 million workers are exposed to potentially damaging noise each year
Loud noise exposure damages auditory-nerve endings that may result in permanent hearing loss
An estimated $242 million annually is spent on workers' compensation for hearing loss disability

PROTECT YOUR HEARING

Check the OSHA legal limits on noise exposure in the workplace based on a worker's time weighted average over an 8 hour day.

Use signage to indicate where hearing protection is needed

Choose low-noise tools and machinery

Create barriers between the noise source and employees

Provide Hearing protection devices (HPDs), i.e. earmuffs and plugs

Limit worker time and increase distance from noise source

Provide quiet areas for hazardous noise relief

Maintain a audiometric testing program to evaluate worker hearing

Ear muffs protect ears by reducing loud frequencies
