Hearing Conservation. 8.12.1 Employees exposed to noise from machinery including lawn mowers will be provided with the appropriate grade of hearing protectors.
Hearing Conservation. 1. Employees shall use their best efforts to schedule their annual Hearing Conservation Screening in conjunction with their annual FAA Medical Examination.
2. In the event it becomes necessary, the Company shall schedule an employee’s
Hearing Conservation. The Contractor shall identify and assess through Health Risk Assessments (HRA) those tasks and areas where Noise Levels could result in Noise Induced Hearing Loss. The contractor shall reduce noise exposure to As Low As Reasonably Practicable. The Contractor shall do maintenance to keep Noise Levels in line with the equipment design criteria. Peak Noise Levels in the workplace shall be kept below 140dB(C) (this value applies irrespective of the duration of the exposure or the use of hearing protection). Exposure of personnel to noise shall be kept below 85dB(A) for an eight-hour Noise Dose. When hearing protection or procedural controls are used to maintain exposure below 85dB(A) for an eight-hour Noise Dose, the following shall be undertaken: • Establish hearing protection zones based on a Noise Contour of 85dB(A) and identify them with marking/signage. • When portable equipment is the source of the noise use location drawings, equipment marking or other controls to identify hearing protection zones. • Train personnel who enter hearing protection zones about noise hazards, describe: • how to identify areas where hearing protection is required; • the correct use and maintenance of hearing protection; • the effect of noise on hearing; and • how to prevent Noise Induced Hearing Loss. The contractor shall select hearing protection that fits, and reduces exposure of personnel below 85dB(A) for an eight-hour Noise Dose. The contractor shall provide medical surveillance (Audiometry) and verify personnel are tested at the times and frequency specified by the HRA. Hearing protection shall be provided to everyone who may enter identified hearing protection zones. Personnel shall be instructed to wear hearing protection at all times when entering or working in an identified hearing protection zone and verify use. Contractor shall update noise assessments when equipment or conditions change in a way that may increase the exposure of personnel to noise (in line with the HRA process).
Hearing Conservation. 11.2.7.1. The City will develop a hearing conservation audiometric testing program and through a designated provider will include mandatory baseline and annual audiometric exams performed consistent with the guidelines stated in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95.
11.2.7.2. The provider will provide the City with a certification that the testing was performed and will certify whether the employee's hearing acuity meets minimum guidelines stated in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.
Hearing Conservation. What Do You Want to Hear? by Summit Training Source
Hearing Conservation i. A Company and a certified worker JHSC representative shall continue the established practice of annual noise mapping of the facility.
ii. The JHSC will review the survey and make appropriate recommendations to the Company for follow up.
iii. Initial audiometric testing will be conducted by a qualified service provider. Employees with hearing impairment will be assessed on a yearly basis. All other employees will be assessed every three (3) years.
Hearing Conservation. Noise is defined as unwanted sound. Depending on the particular worksite, workers may be exposed to excessive noise levels from both operating and construction equipment. All employers are responsible for protecting their workers from the potentially harmful effects of excessive noise. Workers must not be exposed to noise levels above those stated in the regulations. When possible, engineering controls such as equipment isolation, enclosure or insulation shall be implemented to reduce the amount of noise generated by equipment. When engineering controls are not adequate or practical, administrative controls involving worker rotation and reducingthe amount of time that workers are exposed may be implemented. Personal Protective Equipment including ear muffs, inserted and similar devices with suitable noise attenuation ratings shall be implemented. All Company personnel exposed to 85 dBA as an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) shall be enrolled in the Contractor Company’s Hearing Conservation Program. This Program is incorporated as part of the Contractor Company’s overall Health and Safety Program.
