Copy of Hearing Conservation Awareness

Sound is what we hear. Noise is unwanted sound. The diﬀerence between sound and noise depends upon the listener and the circumstances. It can be hazardous to a person's hearing if the sound is loud and if the person is exposed long and often enough. In Ontario O. Reg. 381/15 - Noise, made under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, applies to all workplaces in Ontario. The intent of the regulation is to ensure that workplace exposures to noise above a certain sound level are eliminated or properly controlled to protect workers from noise-induced hearing loss. A Hearing Conservation Program needs to be in place. This training programs discusses all aspects of hearing conservation in the workplace.
