Hearing Protection and Ear Buds and Headphones

In this digital age, many employees are asking about headphones and earbuds in the workplace.  Some of you may have even noticed suppliers advertising “OSHA Approved” earbuds, or maybe employees who have claimed their earbuds or AirPods® are noise cancelling and OSHA Approved. Just a reminder – OSHA does not register, certify, approve, or otherwise endorse commercial or private sector entities, products, or services.
