37. Hazard Control Implement a Hearing Conservation Program? OSHA says A Hearing Conservation Program is required when noise levels 8 hour time-weighted average (TWA) sound level of 85dBA

38. Hazard Control Engineering & administrative controls must be used if workers are subject to noise >8-hour TWA of 90 dBA Implement a Hearing Conservation Program?

39. Hazard Control Minimize noise Noise monitoring Audiometric testing Engineering controls (e.g., design or retrofit; isolate exposure from workers; acoustical materials)

40. Hazard Control Administrative controls (rotate employees, operate offending equipment w/minimum staffing) PPE (plugs; caps; muffs) Training Minimize noise
