Which program focuses on protection from noise exposure and includes training and screening?

• A. PPE Training Program
• B. Noise Protection Program
• C. RF Protection Program
• D. Safety Compliance Program

Answer: (B)

Protecting workers from noise exposure requires a structured program that not only reduces noise but also educates workers and monitors their hearing over time. This is the Noise Protection Program because it explicitly centers on shielding personnel from noise hazards and includes training on hearing protection and safe practices, plus screening through audiometric testing to detect any hearing changes. Training helps people understand exposure levels, use of hearing protection devices properly, and how to minimize noise exposure during maintenance tasks. Screening, typically in the form of baseline and periodic audiograms, tracks hearing health and helps verify that protections are effective. The other options describe more general or different focus areas—PPE training broadly, RF hazards, or overall safety compliance—not the specific combination of noise protection with training and hearing screening.
