Looking Ahead

SAFETY Matters Hearing Protection

Mike Roney, Field Manager miker@elzinga-volkers.com | 586-482-4102

We have started rough framing carpentry and will be installing rough MEPs for phase two, which consists of 11 new resident rooms with private baths and a concierge and nursing station. We are working at a fast pace on interior finish installation in order to turn the area back over to Samaritas for occupancy.

New windows ready for installation

We all enjoy listening to our favorite songs on the radio, watching our favorite TV shows, and participating in great conversations with the people around us, right? With this in mind, we should certainly protect our hearing while we are on noisy construction sites because once the damage is done, it can be long-lasting or even permanent!

Ear Safety, like all aspects of safety, is aimed at keeping ourselves and our senses safe from danger and/or permanent damage while on the jobsite. In the past, many workers did not want to wear hearing protection because they were afraid that they would miss a warning call from above or the sound of a generator kicking in. Today, there are many different styles of hearing protection available. In fact, it is so sophisticated that workers can a select a noise canceling hearing protection device that cancels or blocks dangerous background noise, but still allows face-to-face conversations. It’s important to remember that even with all the great hearing protection choices available, the most important aspect of ear safety is just being aware of the risk before you start any work.
