According to the
U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970, employers must implement a workplace hearing conservation program for all employees who are exposed to an average of 85 decibels (dB) of noise or greater during a typical 8-hour workday.If your workplace involves either intermittent, or continuous sounds that are above 80 decibels, you are required to provide all new employees with audiological testing within 6 months of their hire date, and again one year later to check for any changes in hearing or balance.
Here at HealthWorks WNY, our team of experienced occupational health experts are well-versed in all workplace standards, regulations, and rules, and we ensure that our audiology testing services meet or exceed all state and federal laws.
