Course overview
Well established evidence shows that worker exposure to noise of sufficient intensity and duration can result in hearing damage. Noise-induced hearing loss rarely results from just one exposure. It progresses unnoticed over a period of years. The Hearing Noise and Safety training course identifies conditions that lead to hearing damage or loss. It shows how to use engineering controls and personal protective equipment to prevent such damage. Hearing and Noise Safety is part of the Personal Protective Equipment training series.
