Scout's Toolbox Talks

Loud jobsite noise may not hurt now — but it can cause permanent hearing loss over time.

Construction sites regularly exceed safe noise levels, putting workers at risk for irreversible hearing damage. These toolbox talks cover OSHA hearing protection standards, types of PPE (earplugs, earmuffs, canal caps), noise exposure limits, proper fit and insertion, and long-term effects of unprotected noise exposure. Use them to train workers on protecting their hearing before the damage is done.

Lead safety meetings with toolbox talks that promote hearing conservation, proper PPE use, and compliance with OSHA’s occupational noise standards.
