Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) and Mining Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)?
They are federal programs that set the standards for employee safety in industrial settings and mines.
Having a hearing conservation program at your business helps ensure you comply with the OSHA and MSHA regulations. Noise violations and failure to protect employees’ hearing health may result in annual industrial fines. For instance, OSHA fined the Bud Co. of Philadelphia $2.7 million for noise violations.
Who has to comply with OSHA/MSHA regulations for hearing conservation?
Any company, mine or industrial setting where workers are exposed to moderate to high noise levels over an extended period of time. You can request a noise study and sound map of your business to determine if your company must comply with OSHA hearing safety standards.
Why should I choose Heuser Hearing Institute to protect the safety of my employees?
Audiologists are academically trained in hearing conservation, hearing loss, prevention, fall risk and patient safety. The providers at HHI can create, administer and support a hearing conservation program and direct certified technicians in all areas of industry-related safety.
