Hearing Conservation Program
“If a noise exposure assessment confirms that workers are exposed to excess noise at a worksite, the employer must develop and implement a noise management program that includes policies and procedures.”
WorkSafe Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code 2009
Elements of a Hearing Conservation Program
Employees in major industries, such as oil & gas, construction and manufacturing, are exposed to high levels of noise from heavy-duty equipment and machinery. Daily exposure to these high levels can damage the hearing and have a negative impact on the well-being of employees. It is therefore imperative that employers implement a hearing conservation program in compliance with OHS code.
Â
Noise controls, baseline employee hearing testing, ongoing on-site audiometric testing, identifying restricted and dangerous zones, signage, educating employees, and PPE are all part of the program. The aim is to ensure workers are protected from dangerously high noise levels, while also abiding by the required OHS codes.Â
Â

Noise Management Program Requirements
To ensure that employees are safe while working, employers must implement a noise management program that adheres to Alberta OHS Code Part 16, Section 221 (2). The Code stipulates that the noise management program must include an education plan for workers about the hazards of exposure to excess noise and the correct use of hearing protection; the procedures used to measure and monitor employee exposure to noise; the posting of warning signs where the noise level exceeds 85 dB; the use and maintenance of hearing protection devices used by employees; the methods of noise control; the requirements for audiometric testing and keeping of test records, and annual testing that reviews the program. Rocky Mountain Mobile Hearing Testing can help quantify your program with our mobile hearing testing. We’re fast and effective, ready to jump into work at a time that suits your company.
