Hearing Conservation

To meet OSHA's hearing conservation regulations, not only do noise surveys have to be conducted in the work facility, but also employees themselves need an annual hearing test. OSHA regulation 29 CFR-1910.95 requires annual testing if employees are "exposed to noise equal to or greater than 85dBA."
