Excessive noise exposure is the most frequent
cause of hearing loss. Approximately 30 million workers are
exposed to hazardous noise on the job and millions more off
the job. Hearing loss is one of the most common occupational
diseases and the second most self-reported occupational injury
or illnesses. Yet, because noise induced hearing loss occurs
over a period of time and is not associated with instant pain
and suffering, it is one of the least recognized and respected
hazards by workers. In this program your employees will learn
how their body hears sound and the affects excessive noise has
on them. It will teach them techniques for identifying hazardous
noise and educate them on best practices and procedures to reduce
their exposure. Hearing Conservation – You Decide What
to Hear will motivate your workers to recognize and respect
the hazards and instill that they are responsible for taking
proper measures to protect their hearing. Noise induced hearing
loss is 100% preventable. (12 minutes) |
