Exposure and Testing Records

Employers must keep noise exposure measurement records for 2 years and maintain records of audiometric test results for the duration of the affected employee’s employment.

Audiometric test records must include employee information, date, examiner’s name, date of the last acoustic or exhaustive calibration, measurements of the background sound pressure levels in audiometric test rooms, and the employee’s most recent noise exposure measurement.

Employers are required to record work-related hearing loss cases when an employee’s hearing test shows a marked decrease in overall hearing.
