Follow-up procedures must include the fitting or refitting of an employee showing an STS with adequate hearing protectors and require the employee to use them. If an employee’s test results show an STS, the employer is required to notify that employee as soon as possible.<\/p>

For maximum protection (of both your employee and your company) an audiogram should ideally be performed:<\/p>

  • Pre-employment
    One year afterward for comparison<\/li>
  • Every year thereafter<\/li>
  • Prior to assignment in a noisy area<\/li>
  • At re-assignment out of a noisy area<\/li>
  • At the termination of employment<\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    • Purpose of protectors<\/li>
    • Advantages and disadvantages of the different types of hearing protectors<\/li>
    • Selection, fit, and care of protectors<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
