Course Description

This course delves into the intricate workings of the ear, the generation of sound, and effective workplace controls to mitigate noise exposure. With a focus on personal protective equipment (PPE), particularly hearing protection, participants will learn about the types of hearing protection, fit testing procedures, and the significance of baseline hearing tests for employees working in environments with noise levels exceeding 85dB. The course aims to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to safeguard their hearing health in noisy work settings.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of hearing protection as a crucial element of personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes knowledge of the two main types—earplugs and earmuffs—and the importance of proper training and fit testing.
  2. The course aims to equip participants with the practical skills to work collaboratively with supervisors in selecting and using suitable hearing protection based on the noise exposure in their specific workplace. Fit testing procedures will be highlighted to ensure optimal effectiveness.
  3. Participants will grasp the necessity of baseline hearing tests (Audiograms) for employees exposed to noise levels above 85dB for extended periods. The course will outline the significance of regular hearing tests as a proactive measure to monitor and prevent hearing loss resulting from workplace exposure.
