Reporting hearing conservation compliance to unit commanders is a critical slice of an installation hearing conservation program. This presentation will discuss how to communicate with supervisors and commanders about hearing conservation and outline the success in this area using Lingle’s Spreadsheet for Auditory Compliance (L.S.A.C.). L.S.A.C monitors unit level hearing conservation activity for both testing and training. It provides unit commanders with up-to-date information on individual unit performance and alerts hearing conservation personnel to units falling out of compliance and in need of assistance. This program enabled hearing conservation personnel at Ft. Drum, NY to improve compliance by 40%. It is easy to use and can be adapted to almost any hearing conservation program.
