Once your hearing is damaged, it can be nearly impossible to fully recover. Loud noises in the workplace can lead to acoustic trauma and affect the hearing of your employees. Approximately 30 million Americans are exposed to high-intensity workplace noise on a daily basis. Permanent hearing loss is most often caused by overexposure to intense noise and a lack of hearing safety equipment. The standards for Occupational Exposure to Noise have been put in place by NIOSH and OSHA to protect your employees from overexposure to loud noise. Our training provides employees with the guidelines to protect their hearing.
