24
Q

How long should records of noise measurements be kept by the measuring activity?

A

50 years

25
Q

What code is assigned to all potentially hazardous noise areas and operations?

A

Risk Assessment Code (RAC)

26
Q

How many days after should IH’s resurvey after any significant modifications or changes in work routine which could impact the noise exposure level?

A

30 days

27
Q

Baseline audiograms are done when?

A

Bootcamp or entering into the naval service

28
Q

HCP personnel are required to have a hearing exam…

A

ANNUALLY

29
Q

What does STS stand for?

A

Significant Threshold Shift

30
Q

What is considered an STS?

A

A change in threshold compared to the current reference audiogram

of 10dB or more at 2k, 3k, or 4,000 Hz in either ear

31
Q

What does a Positive STS mean?

A

Worse hearing

32
Q

What does a Negative STS mean?

A

Better hearing

33
Q

What do you do if the STS is negative?

A

Could mean either the reference/monitoring audiogram may be in error

Retest the same day

34
Q

If retest showed no STS, what do you do?

A

Assume the monitoring audiogram was in error

35
Q

If retest still showed improved hearing, what do you do?

A

Assume that the reference audiogram was in error

Establish the retest as the new reference audiogram

36
Q

If STS is positive what do you do?

A

Retest after 14 hours noise free

Notify supervisor (so they can rest)

37
Q

If retest does not indicate STS when do they get another audiogram?

A

Return to annual monitoring

38
Q

If first retest showed STS and if frequencies below 3000 Hz are involved

A

Screen for any medical issues

Record findings on SF600

39
Q

If findings are abnormal upon ear exam what do you do?

A

further evaluation f/u until medically cleared

40
Q

If findings are normal upon ear exam what do you do?

A

Perform 2nd retest

41
Q

If STS is positive can a 2nd retest be administered on the same day as the first retest?

A

Yes

42
Q

What if 2nd retest showed STS?

A
  • Hearing protection is evaluated
  • Results are forwarded to audiologist
  • 2nd retest are used as re-established reference audiogram
  • Supervisor notified
43
Q

The Safety Officers maintains records of:

A
  • Noise hazardous areas
  • Noise hazardous equipment
  • Baseline and subsequent IH surveys
44
Q

Supervisors must be notified in writing within how many days of positive STS?

A

21 days

45
Q

What happens if a Permanent Threshold Shift (PTS) towards poorer hearing is identified?

A
  • Reported to the OSH office for entry on OPNAV 5102/7 (Log of Navy Injuries and Occupational Illnesses)
  • Worker is notified within 21 days
    (signature on DD 2216 will suffice as appropriate notice)
46
Q

Workers must be notified within how many days of positive STS?

A

21 days

(signature on DD 2216 will suffice as appropriate notice)

47
Q

Noise Free Audiogram is also called what?

A

Auditory Rest

48
Q

What is the purpose of the auditory rest?

A

To allow sufficient time for temporary STS to return to pre-exposure levels

49
Q

How long is auditory rest?

A

14 hours

50
Q

What are Noise Abatement Strategies?

A
  • Engineering Controls
  • Administrative Controls
  • Substitution
  • PPE
51
Q

What are Engineering Controls?

A

Primary means of protection

  • Noise barriers
  • Engineering design to eliminate/reduce noise level
52
Q

What are Administrative Controls?

A

Secondary

Limit times of exposure/ enforce safe stay time

53
Q

What is Substitution?

A

Switch out for less noisy equipment

54
Q

What is PPE?

A

Hearing protective devices

55
Q

What are the 2 types of Hearing Protective Devices?

A

Ear plus & Muffs

56
Q

What are the 4 types of ear plugs?

A
  1. Single flange
  2. Double flange
  3. Triple Flange
  4. Disposable
57
Q

What are the 2 types of muffs?

A
  1. Straightaway Muffs
  2. Circumaural Muffs
58
Q

Training Requirements for personnel in the HCP:

A
  • Must receive training PRIOR to working in noise hazardous areas
  • Must receive annual training thereafter
59
Q

Non-disposable hearing protectors require what?

A
