Hearing conservation aims to protect individuals from hearing loss caused by exposure to noise levels in the workplace that exceed the exposure limit of 85 dBA TWA over an eight-hour period. Noise-induced hearing damage can be prevented by implementing measures such as monitoring noise levels, assessing risks, providing personal protective equipment (PPE), and offering regular hearing tests for workers. The main goal is to reduce the risk of permanent hearing loss by identifying hazardous noise levels, educating workers on the importance of hearing protection, and establishing and communicating controls to minimize exposure.

The effects of domestic violence may extend outside the home and spill into the workplace. When they do, the safety of a workplace can be compromised. Here you’ll find information and resources by WorkSafeBC to help you understand your legal obligations, recognize the signs of domestic violence, and take action to help keep workers and workplaces safe.
Violent, threatening or harassing behaviour is never acceptable in the workplace. This is true even if the employee has a mental health issue or is going through a life stressor. If this is the case, the employee needs to seek help outside of work. They should not return until this type of behaviour is no longer a concern. Having effective and enforceable policies in place can be the first step to preventing violence at work.
