Occupational hearing conservation is all about raising awareness among people, generally employers and employees in the workplace, so that nobody has to suffer noise induced hearing loss or deafness. Ways in which to reduce the risk of hearing loss can include improving hearing protection and ensure it is worn when people are exposed to noise, and by explaining the impact noise can have on the unprotected ear.
Occupational hearing conservation includes creating programs that help people to understand how their ears work and prevent initial occupational hearing loss, or further preserve and protect the remaining hearing. It is necessary to educate all workers so that they have the knowledge and hearing protection devices necessary to safeguard themselves against hazardous noises.
As an employer or a project manager on a construction site, how can you find out more about managing noise-induced hearing conservation?
