Occupational Hearing Loss
Every day in workplaces in Canada, workers are exposed to levels of noise which cause permanent hearing damage. Thankfully, there are regulations that mandate employers’ responsibilities to ensure that their employees are protected.
Part of our mission is to protect the hearing of all workers in the Vancouver and Vancouver Island areas. On top of providing fast and efficient industrial audiometric hearing tests, we can also provide expert advice on the types of hearing protection devices your workers should be using on the job based on the noise levels they experience on a daily basis. With our advice, you can make sure your employees have the right hearing protection for the job.
