OSHA Hearing Protection Training & Certification
29 CFR 1910.95 Occupational noise exposure and hearing conservation
One of the most common occupational hazards found in the workplace is hearing loss. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reports that about 10 million workers nationwide incur permanent hearing loss, while nearly 30 million of us are exposed to dangerous levels in our day to day occupations.
OSHA compliance requires that all workers exposed to 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) noise levels of 85 decibels (dBs) or above receive hearing conservation training annually.
