Problem Report
The
Problem Report includes up to five categories describing the current hearing
thresholds of your employees.
These
results are grouped separately, according to category.
The
heading for each category of hearing loss includes a definition/description.
Any
documentation you can provide to OHCS is very helpful to the Audiologist.
Any
documentation you can obtain for a baseline test with either a CAT
II or III, should be included on the individual hearing test for the
employee. This is supportive documentation for your program.
Notification
letters for employees listed in the problem report (excluding baseline hearing
tests) are included with this report.
Letters
for CAT V.
a Standard Threshold Shift, are mandatory and must be signed within 21 working
days of the date of the report.
If
you have an employee with a change in hearing threshold that is loggable on the OSHA
Log 200, we will inform you. You will have six {6} days from the date of the
report to enter the record on Log 200.
You may retest this employee, and the retest may change the results, but you
must still log the information. If there is a change, then you may line through
the log entry.
Dr.
Jerry R. Teel has been the Audiologist for Hearing Conservation Services since
the founding of the company. He is available to explain and answer any of your
questions. He is also available to respond to any inquiries from OSHA
representatives.
