Summary
In short
- An audiometric test record is a record used in KnowHealth that records a worker's hearing test results. It is built against OSHA 1910.95(g) and forms part of the Hearing Conservation programme.
- Run at baseline and yearly for anyone above the noise action level. Carried out by a certified technician.
- The template holds 39 fields across 4 sections.
- Scoring is threshold shift, where high is bad.
- OSHA 1910.95 is occupational noise exposure. Exposure limits, monitoring, audiometric testing and hearing protection.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links Worker, SEG.
What it is
What it is
What is an audiometric test record?
An audiometric test record is a record used in KnowHealth that records a worker's hearing test results. It is built against OSHA 1910.95(g) and forms part of the Hearing Conservation programme.
When is an audiometric test record completed?
An audiometric test record is completed at the moment the event happens, rather than reconstructed afterwards. Run at baseline and yearly for anyone above the noise action level.
When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form AUD2-2026-000
- You are running the Hearing Conservation programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links worker, seg
Not for
- Standard Threshold Shift Review, which reviews a detected hearing shift to decide whether it is work related and what to do.
- Hearing Protection Fit Check, which checks that a worker's hearing protection actually fits and gives the attenuation assumed.
- Noise Survey, which maps noise levels across an area to identify where protection and controls are needed.
- Anything outside KnowHealth, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the audiometric test record template based on?+
It is built against OSHA 1910.95(g). OSHA 1910.95 is occupational noise exposure. Exposure limits, monitoring, audiometric testing and hearing protection. OSHA is occupational Safety and Health Administration. The United States workplace safety regulator. Its standards are law where they apply.
What sections does the audiometric test record contain?+
There are 4 sections: header, test conditions, results, actions. Together they hold 39 fields, 31 of which are required.
How often is an audiometric test record raised?+
A new record is raised at the moment the event happens, rather than reconstructed afterwards. Each one is given an ID in the form AUD2-2026-000, so it can be traced and referenced from other records.
Which programme does the audiometric test record belong to?+
It is part of Hearing Conservation. Exposure known, controls attempted before protection, and shifts in hearing detected early.
How is an audiometric test record scored?+
Scoring is threshold shift. High is bad. Scores exist to make the form tell you something, not to produce a percentage for its own sake.
Can the audiometric test record template be changed?+
Yes. Every field, option, score and conditional rule is editable, and the links to other templates come with it. Most teams install it as it is, run it for a cycle, then adjust.
The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the audiometric test record library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowHealth — employee wellbeing. Exposure monitoring, health surveillance, case management and return to work.
