Addressing these risks can position a company as a leader in worker health and safety. This presentation is designed to: 1) introduce the fundamental mechanisms of ototoxicants; 2) highlight workplace exposures; 3) show how to make informed decisions; and 4) explain the practical steps organizations can take to safeguard worker auditory health. Join us to gain valuable insights and further contribute to advancing your organization's health and safety practices.

Upon completion, the participant will be able to:

• Implement control measures for protecting worker auditory health.
