Hearing Conservation

Employees using high-speed tools and mechanized equipment and /or operating heavy mobile equipment may be required to wear hearing protection.  As a general guide, if a person has to shout to be clearly heard from two feet away, noise monitoring should be considered.  Contact Occupational Health & Safety to schedule noise monitoring.

Employees required to wear hearing protection are covered by WSU’s Hearing Conservation Program, which includes noise monitoring, hearing protection, hearing tests, and training.
