There may be more to hearing conservation than you realize!

Do you know how best to evaluate noise exposure in the workplace?  Take this short quiz to find out. Click below for answers.

  1. How loud (in decibels) does continuous noise need to be for it to require a hearing conservation program? 
    1. 75 dB
    2. 85 dB
    3. 120 dB
    4. 90 dB
  2. Lower levels of noise exposure may be riskier than higher levels.
    1. True: People tend not to wear hearing protection if the noise levels are simply “annoying,” while louder levels remind people to protect themselves. Both can be equally harmful.
    2. False: Higher levels are more likely to cause hearing issues and lower levels pose less of a risk.
  3. Which of these time weighted averages (TWAs) requires the formation of a hearing conservation program?
    1. 8 hours
    2. 5 hours
    3. 16 hours
    4. 12 hours
  4. What is the one way to know if noise has reached dangerous levels in the workplace?
    1. By listening closely.
    2. By asking the workers if they’ve experience tinnitus or ear pain.
    3. By having someone trained conduct a sound survey.
    4. By reading equipment labels to check for noise level warnings.
