What? What? Speak up.
If you have heard this at work, it may be time to evaluate your hearing cnservation program. There are some specific rules on when and where you must implement this program. Hearing is one of the things we take for granted, until we lose it.
Hearing protection can be a complicated thing. Did you know that the NRR (noise reduction rate) on the hearing PPE does not mean the noise is reduced by that number of decibels? It figures into a fairly complicated formula. If you need to more information on hearing conservation, try the program below, or complete the assessment to see if you need a program at all.
