Hearing damage as a result of long-term exposure to loud noises can impact workers in a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing, law enforcement, automotive repair, and maintenance. The good news is that with the right equipment and workplace practices, work-related hearing loss can be prevented.
Here at HealthWorks WNY, we're committed to keeping workers on the job with our full range of occupational health care and testing services. As part of our dedication to providing the best clinical and onsite medical services in the area, we offer an audiology testing service that makes it easy to monitor and protect the hearing and balance of your employees.
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.
As a dedicated occupational health service, our team of full-time physicians, registered physicians' assistants, and registered nurses are committed to providing you and your employees with accurate, high-quality audiometric testing services.
