Audiometric Testing

CAPABILITIES:
Testing utilizes mobile test vans equipped with individual testing booths. Testing vans are also climate controlled to provide testing year round. Each of our testing vans has the capability to test over 100 employees a day.

APPROACH:
Our approach to conducting this mobile testing service during normal production operations does comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 and is outlined below:


1. Each employee will complete an "Ear Health History" questionnaire form supplied by OHHCA.

2. Audiometric measurements would be performed in accordance with OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.95. The following additional specifications apply:
a. Testing will be performed by trained technicians who are under the supervision of an audiologist. Measurements are made with calibrated equipment and in a controlled acoustical environment within a mobile test facility which meets OSHA specifications.
b. Background sound levels will be measured with an octave-band analyzer and documentation provided.
c. Testing is performed with a recording audiometer at test frequencies of 500, 1K, 2K, 3K, 4K, and 6K (8K if required) Hertz.

3. The results of the testing will be supplied in the following formats and will contain the following:
a. A list in alphabetical order of all personnel who received an audiometric testing, summary and analysis of all test results for each employee by individual location.
b. A summary report identifying those employees with standard threshold shifts, and OSHA 200 log recordable shifts by individual location.
c. A computer generated notification form which can be distributed to individual employees informing them in general terms of the results of their audiometric measurements by individual location.
