Legislation

Under Alberta's Occupational Health and Safety Code [pdf], employers must provide initial (baseline) and follow-up audiometric testing for workers exposed to excess noise at the work site. These audiometric tests must be administered by an audiometric technician who works in consultation with a physician, audiologist, or occupational health nurse designated by the employer.

What You Need

To be certified as an audiometric technician in Alberta, you need to complete an audiometric technician training course approved by the Government of Alberta.

You must recertify every 5 years.

For details about certification requirements, contact the Government of Alberta or visit the Government of Alberta website.
