Proper hearing protection is an essential part of the job for many farmers and other agricultural workers who operate equipment such as augers, combines, and dryers, as we all know that hearing loss can become permanent and irreversible.

Here are some helpful safety questions for farm workers to keep in mind:

  • Are workers using appropriate hearing protection?
  • Is older, ineffective hearing protection being updated or replaced?
  • Is reusable hearing protection being cleaned and maintained?
  • Is routine maintenance being performed to reduce noise from loud equipment?
  • Is exposure to exceptionally-loud noise being limited or controlled?
  • Are high-noise areas properly marked with signage or similar warnings?
  • Are farm workers properly trained in the use of personal hearing protection?
  • Is hearing protection stored in areas in which its use is necessary?
