October is National Protect Your Hearing Month! Noise-induced hearing loss is still a widespread issue in the workplace, often due to incorrect or inconsistent use of hearing protection.

It's not too late to register for this Thursday's webinar and explore the history of HPD labeling, common de-rating problems, and how HPD fit-testing is transforming hearing protection best practices. https://lnkd.in/e3csNC_v #NationalProtectYourHearingMonth #OEHS #Safety #HPD
