Hearing Conservation Program
Proposal
Dear Mr. Smith, Thank you for your inquiry about a hearing conservation program for your company. I’ve provided an outline of a hearing conservation program with OSHA guidelines and costs for you to consider.
To clarify some of your questions, the abbreviation of dB stands for decibels, which is how acoustic power is measured. Since the human ear can’t hear all the sounds that may be measured by a sound level meter or dosimeter, we will often add weighting, called A-weighting, to relate the results more accurately to the human ear. When dBs are averaged among the hours of an employee’s 8-hour workday, we call it the 8-hour time-weighted average. We can also calculate a time-weighted average using dBA to be more accurate with our findings.
Please read through the provided materials and OSHA 1910.95 document and contact me with any remaining questions. I look forward to working with you & providing a safe sound environment for your employees!
Sincerely,

This baseline audiogram will provide us with the starting threshold levels of the employees and allow us to see if their hearing declines due to noise exposure within the factory. It will also allow us to see if the hearing conservation program is working. The one exception to this rule is that there is a 12-month period if a mobile van is used for the audiometric testing. If you chose to use my hearing conservation program, Audiometric testing will not be conducted in a mobile test van, so the 6-month period will need to
