Audiogram Template for Workplace Safety Teams

If you’re required to have a hearing conservation program, then you know the struggle of managing audiograms. You may find yourself asking or trying to answer questions like: 

When do baseline audiograms have to be completed? Are there any exceptions? What needs to happen after an employee has a shift in hearing? Are there any time limits or employee notifications that have to be managed? When does a shift in hearing become a recordable injury?

Looking in the federal standards for guidance and to answer questions can be a struggle because the hearing conservation standards aren’t concise and they include a lot of jargon that can be confusing.

And, because audiograms are typically scheduled on an annual basis, managing the results is somewhat of a “non-routine” task. With all the other things you have to manage, it’s easy to forget what the requirements are and what steps need to be taken to ensure your employees and your company’s compliance are taken care of.
