Hearing Conservation Program

• Baseline and annual audiometric testing
• Standard Threshold Shift (STS) evaluation and follow-up

Important information:

This program uses federal OSHA general industry requirements as its primary regulatory baseline. State-specific and industry-specific requirements may differ.

The purchasing organization is responsible for reviewing, customizing, and implementing the program based on its actual workplace noise exposures and applicable regulatory requirements.

A written program alone does not establish compliance. Appropriate exposure assessment, noise controls, hearing protection, audiometric testing, employee training, and required documentation must also be implemented.
