What noise level requires an employee to be enrolled in Hearing Conservation Program?

An employee must be enrolled in a Hearing Conservation Program if they are exposed to noise levels at or above 85 decibels (dB) averaged over an 8-hour work shift. This standard is set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to protect workers from hearing loss due to prolonged exposure to high noise levels. Regular monitoring and hearing tests are typically part of such programs to ensure employee safety.
