Hearing Protection Fit Test

NEW - Hearing protection fit testing is Effective March 31, 2023, Part 16 of the OHS Code will require employers to ensure noise exposed workers are fit tested for the hearing protection devices they use and wear.

There are two common types of hearing protection devices: earplugs and earmuffs. Earplugs (all insert-type plugs, including custom molded earplugs) fit into the ear, while earmuffs fit over the ear (either headband-style or mounted on a hard hat). 

We offer hearing protection fit testing for ear plugs, ear muffs, as well as dual protection (ear plugs + ear muffs). This test is to ensure hearing protection worn by workers is adequately providing protection.
