All worksites requiring hearing protection must comply with noise pollution and exposure standards set by OSHA. Sanford OccMed can help your business prevent hearing loss and keep your worker compensation costs at a minimum. Their licensed audiologists and providers will work with you to develop and maintain a program to meet those needs.

• Employment Exams
Sanford OccMed offers comprehensive examination options. Their screenings ensure your business is a good fit for new hires and that they are healthy throughout their employment.
