What is considered a "don't" for an OHC technician?

In the context of occupational hearing conservation, an OHC (Occupational Health Technician) has specific roles and responsibilities that do not include supervisory tasks related to hearing examinations. The critical distinction is that an OHC technician is skilled in performing tasks directly linked to hearing conservation measures, such as conducting hearing tests, fitting hearing protection devices, and providing counsel to individuals about conserving their hearing.

When it comes to supervising hearing examinations, this task generally falls outside the scope of an OHC's responsibilities. Supervising would typically require a higher level of training and certification, often associated with audiologist roles or other healthcare professionals qualified to oversee and interpret hearing examinations in a clinical setting. This delineation ensures that technicians focus on their primary duties while allowing qualified professionals to manage more complex aspects of hearing assessments.
