Who Should Attend?The program is designed for professionals who are responsible for the development, implementation, and maintenance of a hearing loss prevention program including those responsible for the dispensing of hearing protection devices (HPDs). Attendees normally include: industrial hygienists, health and safety personnel, nurses, audiologists, consultants, engineers and medical staff.
Course DescriptionAdministration of a comprehensive and effective hearing loss prevention program consists of more than merely purchasing and dispensing hearing protectors. Participants will gain necessary knowledge and skills to:
Understand the effects of hazardous noise
Understand requirements in CSA hearing standards
Select the appropriate HPD for their work environment
Train and motivate their employees in the proper use of HPDs
Understand how Fit Testing elevates your hearing loss prevention program
Emphasis will be placed upon an understanding of how hearing protectors function, how they are tested and rated, how they perform in the real world, and how they affect employees' ability to function on their jobs. Commercially available products will be discussed with respect to their performance, selection, fit, use, and care. Benefits of individual fit testing as described in CSA Z94.2-14 & Z1007-16 will be discussed.
