Scout's Toolbox Talks

Protecting hearing isn’t a one-time fix — it takes a consistent, site-wide approach.

When noise levels exceed OSHA’s action limits, employers must implement a hearing conservation program. These toolbox talks cover the key elements of a compliant program: noise monitoring, audiometric testing, training, recordkeeping, and proper use of hearing protection. Use them to help workers understand their role in long-term hearing conservation and what to expect from a structured program.

Use these toolbox talks to support OSHA-compliant hearing conservation programs and foster a proactive safety culture around noise exposure.
