Compliance program

Multi-jurisdiction PPE compliance, without the spreadsheet tax.

Hearing protection decisions need defensible records. This program page organizes standards, product data, training records, and annual review tasks so safety managers can show why each product family is used without overstating what PPE can guarantee.

Howard Leight by Honeywell supports workplace compliance programs with clear NRR references, EN 352 documentation, product instructions, and training templates. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 is treated as workplace hearing conservation guidance, not as a product approval label.

Documentation and recordkeeping templates.

The template set gives program owners a consistent way to capture why a hearing protector is used, where it is stocked, which workers received training, and which documents were provided. The records are intentionally simple because overly complex systems are abandoned during shift work.

  • Hearing PPE selection worksheet
  • Product substitution approval log
  • Training completion register
  • Annual review calendar
  • Distributor replenishment checklist
