Scout's Toolbox Talks
🔊 Noise and Hearing Conservation
Use of Hearing Protection
The right hearing protection only works if it’s worn correctly — and worn every time.
Hearing loss from jobsite noise is permanent but preventable. These toolbox talks cover OSHA requirements for hearing protection, types of PPE (earplugs, earmuffs, canal caps), proper fit and insertion, care and storage, and when protection is required based on noise levels. Use them to ensure workers not only wear hearing protection — but understand how and why to use it properly.
Use these toolbox talks to support hearing conservation efforts and ensure crews stay protected during high-noise tasks.
