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 coordinates comprehensive hearing conservation program support — connecting employers with independent providers for audiometric testing, plus tools for program management and compliance documentation.

DOL Cancels 2026 Civil Penalty Inflation Adjustment — OSHA Maximum Penalties Stay at 2025 Levels (91 FR 31358)

medium

For the first time since annual adjustments began under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015, the Department of Labor will make no inflation adjustment to its civil monetary penalties for 2026 — OSHA maximum penalties remain at 2025 levels. The Bureau of Labor Statistics did not publish October 2025 CPI-U data because of the appropriations lapse, and the statute permits no alternative calculation, so OMB memorandum M-26-11 directed agencies to continue applying 2025 penalty amounts. The Department plans a thorough review of its civil penalties in 2027.
