SafetyManager’s "Hearing Conservation and Safety"
Regulatory Compliance Kit™ has been created specifically
to involve employees in the process of understanding noise
hazards and to help facilities in fulfilling the OSHA
Occupational Noise Exposure and Hearing Protection Standard
(29 CFR,1910.95) training requirements. Everywhere we
go, we encounter noise. And if this noise is loud enough,
or has certain characteristics, it can cause damage to
our hearing, often permanently. Millions of Americans
have a measurable hearing loss, most often caused by "on-the-job"
injuries. Yet many employees don't realize that not only
can hearing problems affect their work, they can alter
their personal lives dramatically as well.
The
Kit addresses the major areas needed to comply with the
Standard. The Compliance Manual provides a detailed summary
of the information needed to comply with the Standard,
as well as a "fill-in-the-blank" written Hearing Conservation
Program. The Posters in the Kit emphasize the importance
of using proper hearing protection.
Topics covered in this kit include:
