👂 Did you know that hearing loss is an OSHA recordable injury? 📝 👉 Many might not realize that hearing loss can be a significant workplace concern. According to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), employers are required to record cases of work-related hearing loss that meet certain criteria. 💡 Why is this important? Because it sheds light on the importance of protecting our hearing in the workplace and implementing effective safety measures. 🔊 As we celebrate Better Hearing Month, let's raise awareness about the impact of workplace noise and the measures we can take to prevent hearing loss among our employees. 💼 Employers: Ensure your workplace is equipped with proper hearing protection and implement noise control measures to safeguard your employees' hearing health. 👂 Let's work together to create safer and healthier work environments for everyone. Let our CAOHC certified team start doing your baseline and annual testing at one of our clinic locations #BetterHearingMonth #WorkplaceSafety #HearingHealth #OSHA #Awareness Feel free to share and spread the word! 🌟

Audio Article: Professor Daniel Garcia discusses the four-day week and how employment models might look like moving forward. Are Fridays the new Saturdays or is this wishful thinking? Can a four-day week actually increase production and employment? Or, if something sounds too good to be true, beware, it just might be too good to be true. #worksmart #fourdayweek #futureofwork #balancedlife #employeeengagement #worklifeharmony #jobopportunities #corporateculture #careergoals #careersuccess #iglobenews #employment #professionaldevelopment

🔊 Protect Your Hearing: Understanding Noise Protection in Ontario 🦻 In Ontario, workplace noise is a serious health and safety concern. Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can lead to irreversible hearing loss. To safeguard workers, Ontario has implemented strict regulations and guidelines. Here are some key points to consider: 1-Know the Limits: The Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) for noise is 85 decibels (dB) over an 8-hour workday. Exceeding this can put your hearing at risk. 2-Use Protective Equipment: Always use appropriate hearing protection such as earplugs or earmuffs in noisy environments. 3-Conduct Regular Assessments: Employers should regularly monitor noise levels and conduct hearing tests for employees. 4-Implement Noise Control Measures: Use engineering controls like sound barriers and damping materials to reduce noise levels at the source. 5-Educate and Train: Ensure all employees are trained on the risks of noise exposure and the proper use of hearing protection. Let's work together to create safer workplaces and protect our hearing! 👂🔇 #OccupationalHealth #NoiseProtection #HearingSafety #OntarioSafety #WorkplaceSafety

Is your hearing as valuable to you as your time? In our world, so many things are changeable, correctable, or otherwise able to be reclaimed... hearing and time are not part of that list. It's sobering, but important to talk about because hearing loss affects millions of workers across industries every year. In fact, ~22 million U.S. workers are exposed to hazardous noise levels at work. So, this is our not so subtle plug to protect your hearing! How's that sound? https://lnkd.in/eiD94GUc #construction #constructionsafety #safetyfirst #earprotection #bluecollar #thewessonexperience

Are Your Clinic-Sourced Baselines Being Entered in Your Database? 👂 Baselines and their purpose: As an employer, it's important to understand the complete process of getting a baseline hearing test for your employees. A baseline test is the test that establishes an employee's benchmark for future hearing test comparison. In many cases, OSHA allows up to 6 months for this, but by doing it earlier, it allows any pre-existing hearing loss to be documented. After the baseline test, hearing tests are conducted at least annually to monitor for any changes in the employee's hearing health. Wait, there's a few more steps! After obtaining a baseline test, there are more steps that employers need to follow for compliance. Once the baseline test is complete, the results need to be sent to the provider of record (if contracted out) so that they can be screened for any problems and entered into your company's hearing conservation database. This way, any unclear data, possible STS (Standard Threshold Shift), or recordable STSs (shifts in hearing levels that are significant enough to be recorded on the injury log) can be identified. By following through with these steps, you can ensure your company is complying with this part of the OSHA requirements. Questions?

Workers' noise exposure is a critical component of a workplace hearing conservation and noise control program. Based on the monitoring results of noise sources in the workplace, indoor noise propagation simulation helps identify work locations with noise issues and assess occupational noise levels at specific sites. This approach underpins the organization's hearing conservation program, preventing employees from experiencing hearing loss. Example of my simulation on indoor noise propagation is shown in the attached figure.

Attention Employers: Do you prioritise workplace hearing health? In compliance with regulations, the law requires the following: · Providing hearing protectors to employees in the exposure action values range. · Ensuring the proper use of hearing protectors when noise exposure exceeds set limits. · Identifying mandatory hearing protection zones with clear signage. · Offering thorough training on hearing protector use and maintenance. · Vigilantly monitoring and maintaining the correct usage of hearing protectors.
