Hearing Conservation Testing Program
One of the biggest occupational health issues is noise exposure. Many industrial processes produce noises on various levels, and being around these noises for extended periods may cause hearing loss and other harmful health effects. The longer your employees experience exposure to high noise levels, the more at risk they are of losing their hearing permanently.
Our mobile audiometric testing services eliminate the need to send workers off-site for testing services. Having an audiometric testing booth arrive at your site will reduce downtime and maintain high productivity while keeping your employees safe. Additionally, if an employer utilizes a mobile test provider, this allows the employer 12 months to establish a new-employee baseline audiogram.
Audiometric Testing
Audiometric testing measures your employees’ abilities to hear sounds. This test will occur before your workers experience exposure to loud working conditions to create a baseline hearing level. Individuals are required to undergo this test once a year to determine if they have experienced any hearing loss.

- Testing booths have triple-layer sound proofing

Regularly testing your employees’ hearing protects them from long-term hearing damage. Industrial hearing tests also benefits employers as they provide insight into any flaws present in the company’s current hearing protection program. Audiometric screening helps catch potential safety issues in the workplace before severe damage occurs and allows companies to make any needed safety improvements.
Documentation via Web-based Reporting
OSHA requires all employers to keep audiometric testing records for two years for unaffected employees and for the entire duration of an affected worker’s employment.
