Noise management programs in Alberta

We understand the importance of protecting your hearing in industrial environments.

Exposure to high noise levels is a common occupational hazard in many industries. If not properly managed, it can lead to irreversible hearing loss and reduce your quality of life.

Noise-induced hearing Loss (NIHL) poses safety risks in the workplace as well. It can hinder communication and increase the likelihood of accidents. Hearing well is important in the workplace. We can help.

Regulatory compliance

Employers must adhere to occupational health and safety regulations. They mandate the monitoring and protection of employee hearing levels.

Noise exposure limits are regulated by

  • Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and the
  • Canadian Standards Association (CSA)

They also have specific guidelines for hearing conservation programs.

Our industrial hearing services help businesses meet these regulatory standards. In turn, this helps them avoid potential legal and financial repercussions.
