Hearing Test
Occupational Health hosts audiometric testing annually for Facilities Services employees who engage in work exposed over 85 decibels. Tests begin within 1 year of the first potential exposure over action level (baseline exam) and every year thereafter. All hearing test results are reviewed by an audiologist. Yearly tests are compared to baseline exam to note any hearing loss and take appropriate action.
Event details
Annual testing will be held each year at the Environmental Health & Safety building (EH&S Training Room. Staff will be scheduled in a timeslot during one of the days. Each exam lasts 30 minutes.
