Sound Exposure Monitoring
 | Cornerstone of an Occupational Hearing Loss Prevention Program
|
| Primary mechanism for determining:
| Nature and degree of sound exposure risk
| for homogeneous exposure groups (HEG)
| for individual workers
| | | Progress of Noise Control Program
| | |
| Required by OSHA when certain conditions exist
|
| Covered in ANSI S12.19-1996
|
Notes:
The value of sound exposure monitoring in the development of an effective hearing conservation or hearing loss prevention program is without question.
Besides being the foundation of a Program, it is
| The primary method we have for determining:
| The nature and degree of sound exposure risk
| for groups of workers (HEG)
| for individual workers
|
| | | | |
| It is also a means to track the progress of the Noise Control Program
|
| It is legally required under certain conditions
|
| And it is now covered as an ANSI standard
