Noise Hazards and Control: Preventing Hearing Loss
For Canadian employers, supervisors, and workers building a safe workplace
Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common occupational injuries in Canada — and one of the most preventable. It doesn't announce itself with an accident report or a visible wound; it builds quietly, shift after shift, until the damage is permanent. Do you know what decibel level actually puts your hearing at risk, or how to tell whether a hearing protector is doing its job? This engaging course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to recognize, measure, and control noise hazards in the workplace. You'll gain hands-on insight into how sound is measured and how exposure limits are set, the health effects of noise beyond hearing loss, how to apply the hierarchy of controls under CSA Z94.2 and CSA Z1007, and how to select, fit, and maintain hearing protection devices so they perform the way they're rated to. Whether you're a worker on the floor, a supervisor, or a member of your joint health and safety committee, you'll be empowered to protect your hearing — and help protect your co-workers' hearing — for the long term.
Hearing conservation is a shared responsibility. Employers are responsible for assessing noise exposure, implementing controls following the hierarchy from elimination through to hearing protection, providing properly fitted hearing protection devices, and maintaining an effective Hearing Loss Prevention Program that includes audiometric testing. Workers, in turn, are expected to use the controls and hearing protection provided, wear them correctly and consistently, report signs of hearing changes or ill-fitting equipment, and take an active role in protecting their own hearing on and off the job.
What's inside — 6 Modules + Final Assessment
Module 1: Understanding Sound and How We Hear
Learn how sound travels and is measured on the logarithmic decibel scale, how the ear converts sound into hearing, and why even a small increase in decibels represents a much larger increase in sound energy and risk.
Module 2: Health Effects of Noise: Beyond Hearing Loss
Understand how noise-induced hearing loss develops and why it's permanent and irreversible, along with the broader health effects of chronic noise exposure, including tinnitus, stress, sleep disruption, and cardiovascular strain.
Module 3: Measuring Workplace Noise and Regulatory Standards
Learn how workplace noise is measured and evaluated using time-weighted average (TWA) exposure limits and the 3 dBA exchange rate, and how Canadian occupational exposure limits and peak/impulse noise limits define when action is required.
Module 4: Applying the Hierarchy of Controls to Noise Hazards
Learn to apply the five levels of the hierarchy of controls — elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE — to reduce noise at its source before relying on hearing protection.
Module 5: Hearing Protection Devices: Selection, Fit, and Use
Learn how to select the right hearing protection device using CSA Class A/B/C ratings and Noise Reduction Rating (NRR), how de-rating affects real-world protection, and how to fit, use, and care for hearing protection so it performs as intended.
Module 6: Hearing Loss Prevention Programs & Audiometric Testing
Understand the components of a CSA Z1007 Hearing Loss Prevention Program, the purpose of baseline and annual audiometric testing, how a Standard Threshold Shift is identified, and the distinct roles employers, workers, and the joint health and safety committee play in making the program work.
