Scout's Toolbox Talks
🔊 Noise and Hearing Conservation
Noise Exposure Risks
Loud tools may seem routine — but long-term exposure can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Construction sites often exceed safe noise levels, especially near power tools, heavy equipment, and demolition work. These toolbox talks cover common sources of hazardous noise, OSHA’s permissible exposure limits (PELs), signs of hearing damage, and the importance of early prevention. Use them to help workers recognize noise risks before the damage becomes permanent.
Use these toolbox talks to raise awareness about jobsite noise hazards and support long-term hearing conservation for your crew.
