Hearing LossProtect Your Hearing: Insights from the Living The Wildlife Podcast Welcome to another episode of the Living The Wildlife Podcast with wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel! This episode delves into a critical aspect of health and safety in the wildlife control and pest management industries: protecting your hearing. Stephen Vantassel shares his personal experiences and expert insights to highlight the importance of hearing protection, ensuring you can maintain your auditory health while working in potentially noisy environments. The Importance of Hearing Protection in Pest Management Stephen Vantassel, a seasoned wildlife control consultant, opens this episode by emphasizing the vital role of adhering to laws and regulations in pest control. He introduces his latest book, the "Vertebrate Pest Handbook, Third Edition," which provides comprehensive information on managing commensal rodents. However, the primary focus of this episode is on a different yet equally crucial topic: protecting your hearing. Stephen Vantassel's Personal Experience with Hearing Loss Stephen shares his personal battle with hearing loss, which stemmed from a combination of ear infections and prolonged exposure to loud noises. His story is not uncommon; statistics show that 15% of American adults report some level of hearing loss, with men being twice as likely to suffer due to occupational exposure. This statistic is particularly relevant for those in the pest management industry, where the use of loud machinery and equipment is routine. Understanding OSHA's Guidelines on Noise Exposure The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides clear guidelines on acceptable noise exposure levels to help protect workers' hearing. According to OSHA, workers should not be exposed to noise levels above 90 decibels (dB) for more than 8 hours per day. As the noise level increases, the permissible exposure time decreases significantly. For instance, exposure to noise at 100 dB should be limited to just 2 hours. Common Sources of Loud Noise in Pest Management Stephen outlines several common sources of loud noise that pest management professionals might encounter, including: Music Players: Prolonged use of high-volume music players can contribute to hearing damage. Chainsaws: Frequently used in wildlife control, chainsaws produce noise levels that can be harmful without proper protection. Jackhammers and Heavy Machinery: These tools are common in construction and pest control and are notorious for their high noise levels. By comparing different noise levels, Stephen underscores the importance of understanding and mitigating the risks associated with prolonged noise exposure. Effective Hearing Protection Measures Protecting your hearing requires proactive planning and the use of appropriate protective measures. Stephen discusses several effective options: Foam Earplugs: These are a cost-effective and widely available option for reducing noise exposure. Custom-Molded Earplugs: Tailored to fit the user's ears, these provide enhanced protection and comfort. Canal Caps: These are convenient and easy to use, offering good protection for shorter periods. Earmuffs: Suitable for high-noise environments, earmuffs provide substantial noise reduction. Stephen advises against using earbuds for hearing protection as they can exacerbate hearing damage instead of preventing it. Planning and Consistency in Hearing Protection Stephen emphasizes the need to plan for noise exposure by preparing the necessary protective equipment and ensuring its consistent use. He reiterates OSHA's emphasis on the actual use of hearing protection, rather than merely having it available. Proper planning involves assessing the noise levels of different tasks and selecting the appropriate protective measures accordingly. Long-Term Health and Preventing Isolation

Why Hearing Protection Is An Essential PPE On today's podcast, we'll be talking about the importance of Hearing Protection. So - stay tuned. You can find the show notes to each episode, links to the information mentioned on the podcast, the social media platforms we're on, and anything else related to the podcast at WarehouseSafetyTips.com. If you're a seasoned Podcast Listener, this podcast will be different from most you listen to.  It's based on exactly what the name implies - Warehouse Safety Tips.  And since the people in that industry are busy - we know time is money so each episode will be as short and to the point as possible. And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast! Why Hearing Protection Is An Essential PPE In industrial settings such as factories and warehouses, exposure to high noise levels is a common occupational hazard. Prolonged exposure to loud noises can cause irreversible hearing damage, hearing loss, and other related health problems.  Hearing protection is a must for employers as part of their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) program. Hearing protection devices (HPDs) such as earplugs, earmuffs, and noise-canceling headphones can reduce noise exposure to a safe level - minimizing the risk of hearing damage. Regulations set forth by agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States suggest and enforce the use of HPDs. Not only is hearing protection essential for protecting workers' health, but it can also improve overall productivity and safety in the workplace. Excessive noise can impair communication and concentration, making it difficult for workers to perform their tasks safely and efficiently. By reducing noise levels, hearing protection can help workers focus on their jobs, improving overall job performance and safety. As with all PPE and safety procedures - proper training of all staff members and unwavering adherence to that training is paramount to its success. We said it last week, and it'll be just as true down the road - "Safety can't exist where safety isn't observed!" Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next week - have a great week, and STAY SAFE! Before moving on - here's a word from one of our sponsors. If you've ever been to or worked in a warehouse - you know just how important safety is to management and staff.  It's almost impossible to go 10 steps without seeing Safety Tape, Angles, Signs, and/or products.

In this episode we take on a listener submitted question on hearing and hearing protection.  What you hear may shock you.  From what decibal ratings are, mean and what little protection some products actually propvide.  Even though you think you are doing the right thing, you probably are still destroying you hearing one shot at a time.  Like me, I thought I was protected and was I wrong.  Take heed and take notes, this is a really important topic to tackle. We also talk about our new rifle build kits.  Would you install you own trigger to save nearly $1000 dollars on your next custom rifle?  We think so.  Also, New free online gunsmithing school is about to take flight to help you get the most in buidling and taking care of you rifle.

In episode 30 of the OSHA Oops! Podcast, we're talking about hearing protection and a company that did not ensure their employees needed a hearing conservation program. They were fined only $400 - but it could have been much higher if it was discovered that a hearing conservation program was needed. OSHA requires companies to have a hearing protection plan in place if their workers are exposed to a noise level above 85 decibels (dB) over an 8-hour workday. Thankfully, in this case, they did not have noise levels above 85 dB - but if it had been, the fines would have been much greater. Follow us on our social media:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/GotSafetyTwitter: https://twitter.com/GotSafetyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/realgotsafety/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/54294408/admin/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@realgotsafetyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GotSafetyApp

When I was a little kid in Sunday School, we would sing that familiar “Be Careful” song and eventually get to a verse that began like this: “Be careful little ears what you hear.” Well, my ears certainly aren't as little as they used to be, both figuratively and literally. And as I've grown older I've learned that we shouldn't only be careful about the content we hear, but the actual volume of what we hear. You see, I have ringing in both of my ears. Audiologists are warning parents to watch the volume on their kids devices, as hearing loss and other issues are hitting kids at younger and younger ages. I recently read this advice from a teenager named Savannah: “If you think it's too loud, it probably is! You may not be worried about hearing loss, but teenagers are vulnerable to noise-induced hearing loss. The best way to prevent it? Turn it down, move away or use hearing protection.” As part of our daily act of worship, we need to steward and protect our bodies, including our hearing.
