Honeywell’s Noise-Induced Hearing Loss at Work white paper provides an in-depth look at one of the most prevalent and preventable occupational injuries across industrial sectors: hearing loss from noise exposure. The paper outlines how consistent exposure to noise levels above 85 dBA can cause irreversible damage, impacting worker safety, productivity, and long-term health.
Drawing from field data and best practices, Honeywell emphasizes that effective hearing conservation programs require more than issuing earplugs—they must combine accurate noise monitoring, proper selection and fit of hearing protectors, employee training, and ongoing program evaluation. The white paper also examines the financial impact of hearing loss on organizations, highlighting how proactive prevention measures can significantly reduce costs associated with compensation claims and lost productivity.
This resource serves as a practical guide for building a compliant, results-driven hearing conservation strategy that safeguards both employees and operational performance.
