Noise‑induced hearing loss (NIHL) is permanent damage caused by prolonged exposure to sounds over 85 decibels. It is one of the most common occupational illnesses. This noise prevention and hearing protection training teaches how to recognize hazardous noise and protect yourself. For broader workplace safety, see Personal Protection Equipment (PPEs) at WorkPlace.
Earplugs fit inside the ear canal and offer higher attenuation when fitted correctly. Earmuffs cover the whole ear and are easier to use correctly. Module 3 covers application of PPEs. See also Head Protection at Workplace and Face & Eyes Protection for Supervisors for other PPE training.
A Hearing Preservation Program includes noise monitoring, engineering controls, audiometric testing, training, and recordkeeping. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 and similar Canadian regulations require such programs when noise exceeds action levels. Module 4 covers hearing preservation programs in detail. For chemical hazard communication, see HAZCOM/ OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS).
In the US, OSHA requires a Hearing Conservation Program at 85 dBA action level and mandatory hearing protection at 90 dBA. In Canada, provincial regulations (e.g., Ontario’s Regulation 381/85) set similar limits. Module 5 covers legal aspects. For authoritative guidance, see NIOSH Hearing Loss Prevention.
