It is estimated that approximately 22 million people in the U.S. are occupationally exposed to hazardous noise levels. One of the most common methods for minimizing worker exposure to these hazardous noise levels is the use of hearing protectors. Before selecting hearing protection for use in your facility, several questions should be considered, including:
- Are we required to provide hearing protection?
- Does the hearing protector provide adequate noise reduction?
- What types of hearing protectors are available?
- Is the hearing protector compatible with any other personal protective equipment (PPE) we are using?
