Training (5.3)

The following courses are required for personnel who routinely work in a designated noise area:

• ES&H Course 222, Hearing Conservation (annually)
• ES&H Course 222ME, Hearing Conservation Medical Exam (annually)

Personnel who perform a brief task or job in a designated noise area are not required to complete hearing conservation training or an audiometric test; however, they should wear hearing protection while they work there.

Managers and supervisors must ensure that personnel are fully trained regarding occupational hazards and must occasionally provide on-the-job training. Consult the SLAC Training Assessment (STA) to determine personnel training requirements.
