CAOHC Course for Certification of Occupational Hearing Conservationist
A Certified Occupational Hearing Conservationist (COHC) plays an integral role on the hearing conservation team. Even though the audiometric testing program must be supervised by an audiologist or physician, the COHC may be closely involved with noise-exposed workers and their activities.
COHCs may be audiologists, physicians, occupational health nurses, industrial hygienists, human resources directors, workplace safety officers or any person interested in occupational hearing conservation. COHCs may be responsible for performing pure tone air conduction audiometric testing, fitting hearing protection devices, providing education, and enforcing hearing conservation program (HCP) compliance.
This five, half-day class is offered entirely online and meets the requirements of the Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation (CAOHC). Upon successful completion of the class, which includes passing a computer-based exam, participants are eligible for certification through CAOHC. Certification is good for five years.
