Hearing loss can be prevented by doing an E-course offered by CCOHS

May 30, 2008

Toronto – The world is becoming a small place. A Canadian organization has developed an exclusive e-course to stop hearing loss at place of work.

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) that is based at Hamilton, is offering the e-course to help reduce or eliminate noise exposure in the workplace and thus prevent hearing loss.

In a statement, the centre says its one-hour e-course – Preventing Hearing Loss from Workplace Noise – teaches how noise can harm hearing, what noise levels are dangerous, how to build up hearing loss prevention actions that hearing protectors are suitable for which settings and how to use them, as well as exact ways to control workplace noise contact.

The course also features case studies, quizzes, an `ask a question’ option and a final examination.

The centre says the e-course is geared towards people working in a potentially noisy setting – workers, managers, supervisors, health and safety staff and committee members, as well as human resources and disability management personnel.

The centre is Canada’s national resource for advancing workplace health and safety.

It promotes the total happiness, physical, psychosocial and mental health – of working Canadians by providing information, training, education, management systems and solutions that support health and safety programs and the prevention of injury and illness.

The centre also collaborates with agencies and organizations from about the world to get better happiness at workplace.
