3. O.S.H.A. noise standards are simple to determine, even without a testing device.

The O.S.H.A. instructor said its simple. If you need to raise your voice to have someone hear you, the noise level is over the decibel limit. A washroom attendant will be exposed to this noise lever over the course of a work day.

The problem with such hearing loss is that it is over the period of time. There is no pain or discomfort to warn you that your hearing is in danger.

I took the 30 hour, O.S.H.A. certified course.
