Is Your Team Protected from Noise Exposure? 3 Mistakes Supervisors Often Miss

Noise-induced hearing loss is 100% preventable—and yet it’s one of the most common workplace injuries. Many supervisors assume earplugs are enough. Let’s look at three noise-related mistakes we see too often—and how to fix them.

Mistake 1: Skipping a Dosimetry Survey
Without real data, you're guessing. A dosimetry study tells you exactly how much noise workers are exposed to over a shift.

Mistake 2: PPE Isn’t Enough
Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be the last line of defense—not the first. Engineering controls come first.

Mistake 3: No Written Hearing Protection Program
OSHA requires one when exposures exceed 85 dBA over 8 hours. Are you in compliance?
