Topic: Characterizing Ototoxicants: Crafting Foundational Procedures for a Safer Workplace

Speaker: Alex Cardone

 

Currently, the regulatory landscape for ototoxicants lacks strict requirements, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity. Join us for an exploration into how these chemicals affect auditory health and discover where they might be present within your organization. This presentation is designed to introduce the fundamental mechanisms of ototoxicants, highlighting where they are commonly found, and guiding you through the initial steps your organization can take to safeguard worker health. Although regulatory requirements for ototoxicants are lenient, addressing these risks head-on can position your company as a leader in worker health and safety. Equip yourself with essential knowledge to make informed decisions and take practical steps towards improving auditory well-being in your workplace.
