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.
