SUMMARY:Webinar: Hearing Loss Prevention for Forest Workers
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Hearing loss is common\, especially among workers who are exposed to hazardous noise where they work. Forestry and logging are among the top industry sectors for worker exposure to hazardous noise that can contribute to hearing loss. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)\, noise-exposed workers in forestry and logging had a higher percentage of hearing loss (21%) than all noise-exposed industries combined (19%). This training will discuss effective methods for preventing hearing loss from noise in forestry. \nIntended Audience: This course is intended for workers in forestry and logging\, including fallers\, first-line supervisors/managers of forestry workers\, and logging equipment operators. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nRecognize the importance of preventing noise-induced hearing loss.\nIdentify hearing loss risk factors among workers and potential mitigation strategies.\nIdentify hearing protection devices that are available to workers.\nRecognize the signs and adverse health effects of hearing loss.\n\n Watch the Recording Here  \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-39184-SH2 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.
