Description:MARCOM's "Hearing Conservation
and Safety" Video Program has been created specifically to involve
employees in the process of understanding noise hazards and to help facilities
in fulfilling the OSHA Occupational Noise Exposure and Hearing Protection
Standard (29 CFR,1910.95) training requirements. The Video reviews
why employees should pay attention to "noise" hazards, and how
they can protect themselves from hearing injuries. Everywhere we go, we
encounter noise. And if this noise is loud enough, or has certain characteristics,
it can cause damage to our hearing... often permanently. Millions of Americans
have a measurable hearing loss, most often caused by "on-the-job"
injuries. Yet many employees don't realize that not only can hearing problems
affect their work, they can alter their personal lives dramatically as
well.
Areas covered in the program include how our ears "work",
types of hearing damage/loss, common causes of hearing damage/loss, potential
effects of hearing damage, noise avoidance and hearing safety practices,
selection and use of personal protective equipment, and more. The Video
Program comes with a comprehensive Leader's Guide, reproducible Scheduling
& Attendance Form, Employee Quiz, Training Certificate and Training
Log.
