Record Keeping Noise exposure measurement records must be kept for two years according to 29 CFR 1910.95. The BLM has decided to maintain noise exposure records for the same duration as other exposure records. We must maintain records of audiometric test results for the duration of employment according to 29 CFR 1910.95. The BLM decided to maintain the audiometric test results for the duration of employment plus thirty years as required for other medical records covered under 29 CFR 1910.20. Audiometric test records must include the name, job classification, 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.
Employees can access their exposure and medical records by contacting their personnel officer.
Employees are encouraged to take advantage of the record keeping system by inquiring about their hearing status, especially at the time of the annual ideogram. Program Evaluation Evaluation of all the HCPs components is necessary to decide the extent to which the program is really working or if there are problems. The Safety and Occupational Health Manager will evaluate the program annually and document the findings and any corrective actions taken. Employees are responsible for providing feedback on the program's merits or shortcoming to their supervisor and safety officer.
