OSHA's Hearing Conservation Program (29 CFR 1910.95) requires employers to protect workers exposed to noise levels at or above 85 decibels (time-weighted average). The program includes noise monitoring, audiometric testing, hearing protection, training, and recordkeeping.

Implementing an effective hearing conservation program prevents noise-induced hearing loss, one of the most common occupational illnesses. Early detection through regular audiometry allows intervention before permanent damage occurs.

BlueHive provides comprehensive hearing conservation program support, from audiometric testing to program management and compliance documentation.
