About the course

Sound is what we hear. Noise is unwanted sound. The difference between sound and noise depends upon the listener and the circumstances. It can be hazardous to a person's hearing if the sound is loud and if the person is exposed long and often enough.  In Ontario O. Reg. 381/15 - Noise, made under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, applies to all workplaces in Ontario. The intent of the regulation is to ensure that workplace exposures to noise above a certain sound level are eliminated or properly controlled to protect workers from noise-induced hearing loss.  A Hearing Conservation Program needs to be in place. This training programs discusses all aspects of hearing conservation in the workplace.
