Hearing Loss Prevention Seminars - brought to you by E-A-R™ and Peltor™, and 3M™ Brands
There's no better way to educate yourself and your staff about the current regulations, equipment choices, employee training programs and legal issues related to noise hazards and hearing conservation. Conducted by instructors who are among the industry's most respected hearing experts, these day-long seminars discuss, in detail, how to asses noise problems and properly protect your employees. Seminars focus on practical and applied solutions rather than highly technical matters. The topics covered are valuable to anyone involved in hearing conservation, from plant managers and insurance carriers to CAOHC technicians and occupational hearing conservation program team members.
