60 Percent of Your Workforce Could Have Hearing Loss that Reduces Safety & Productivity

Today, approximately 30 million workers are in danger of hazardous noise exposure. The problem has actually increased since most safety programs were implemented within the past 20 years. A recent survey by the National Health Interview shows hearing problems have increased by 26 percent in the past 30 years.

Hearing and communication deficits dramatically reduce employee productivity and increase lost work time, which can be devastating to a company’s workforce and its bottom line.
