1319 Hearing Safety Retraining
Hearing injuries affect all types of people in all types of jobs. Injuries can occur both on and off the job, and can have a dramatic effect on our ability to perform our work and function in our personal lives.
Most injuries to our hearing are "noise-related", and virtually all types of hearing injuries can result in hearing loss. While hearing injuries do not receive the publicity other types of injuries get, over 10 million people in the United States currently have a measurable hearing loss. This video gives employees the information they need to refresh their knowledge of the hearing safety rules.
The key training points in this video include:
- How our hearing works.
- Potential effects of hearing damage.
- Common types of hearing damage/loss.
- Common causes of hearing damage/loss.
- Noise avoidance and hearing safety practices.
- Selection and use of personal protective equipment.
Support materials to enhance learning include a Facilitator Guide, answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ), and a quiz for documentation.
