🚀 When to Consider a Hearing Conservation Program?

  • A Hearing Conservation Program is strongly recommended if:
  • Workers face exposure to noise levels exceeding 80 dBA.
  • Workplace alterations, new equipment, or process modifications may significantly alter noise exposure.
  • Note that specific requirements for noise assessment may vary by jurisdiction. Conducting an assessment at an action level of 80 dBA offers enhanced protection.
