OSHA mandates annual audiograms for workers exposed to 85+ dB noise levels. OSHA hearing conservation testing with baseline and annual audiograms per regulatory requirements.
Occupational noise exposure can cause permanent, irreversible hearing loss. OSHA requires hearing conservation programs when workers are exposed to 85 dB or higher time-weighted averages. Proper audiometric testing helps identify hearing changes early and protects both workers and employers.
DSC delivers OSHA-compliant audiometric testing: certified audiometric technicians conducting baseline and annual audiograms per OSHA protocols, standard threshold shift (STS) analysis with employer notification, hearing protection device (HPD) evaluation and fit testing, and complete recordkeeping with 30-year retention per OSHA requirements. Protect your workers' hearing with proactive hearing conservation.
OSHA-compliant testing by trained technicians following proper protocols.
Standard Threshold Shift analysis with employer notification and follow-up protocols per OSHA requirements.
Audiogram storage satisfies OSHA recordkeeping requirements with retrieval for inspections or documentation needs.
29 CFR 1910.95 (Occupational Noise Exposure) requires:
OSHA requires audiometric testing for all employees exposed to noise levels of 85 decibels (dB) or higher as an 8-hour time-weighted average. Common industries include construction, manufacturing, trucking (especially flatbed and heavy equipment), energy production, and municipal operations.
Audiometric testing takes approximately 10-15 minutes per employee, including equipment setup, baseline questionnaire, and hearing threshold measurement. DSC mobile units can test 30-40 workers per day at your location, minimizing productivity loss.
Standard Threshold Shifts (STS) trigger OSHA notification requirements, additional audiometric testing, HPD re-evaluation, and potential medical referral. DSC handles all notification, documentation, and follow-up coordination, ensuring OSHA compliance and workers' comp documentation.
Yes. DSC mobile audiometric units deploy to construction sites, energy facilities, terminals, and other remote locations. We coordinate testing during shift changes or scheduled downtime to minimize operational disruption while ensuring 100% participation rates.
