Description
OSHA Standard: 1926.52, .101 & industry best practices
Hearing Conservation teaches about occupational noise, hearing loss, the importance of a Hearing Conservation Program, and how to properly insert foam earplugs.
Additional topics include the effects of hearing loss and ways to determine what level of hearing protection may be required based on the work environment.
An interactive simulation trains learners how to make decisions based on sound meter readings and assess the impact of noise exposure on the job.

Occupational Noise: Hearing Conservation
Frequently Asked Questions
Construction noise sits under 1926.52 and .101, which set the exposure limits and the protection this course works from.
It explains why a Hearing Conservation Program matters, how occupational noise causes hearing loss, and what steps reduce that risk on the job.
An interactive simulation has learners read a sound meter and make protection decisions based on those readings, tying noise levels to real choices.
Learners practice how to properly insert foam earplugs, a specific skill the course calls out alongside the broader hearing conservation concepts.
Beyond insertion technique, the course covers the effects of hearing loss itself and how to judge what level of protection a given work environment needs.
