OPNAVINST 5100.19F Chapter B4 covers which topic?

• A. Heat Stress
• B. Safety Data Sheet
• C. Hearing Conservation
• D. PPE

Answer: (C)

The main idea is protecting workers from hearing loss caused by workplace noise. A hearing conservation program focuses on reducing noise exposure, monitoring hearing, and using protective measures to prevent damage over time. In OPNAV instruction 5100.19F, Chapter B4 is the section that lays out the requirements for this program, including how to assess noise hazards, conduct baseline and follow-up audiometric testing, train personnel on hearing protection, and ensure proper selection and use of hearing protection devices. This topic is distinct from Heat Stress, which would address heat-related hazards; Safety Data Sheets, which relate to chemical hazards and information; and broad PPE guidelines, which cover protective equipment in general rather than the focused program for preventing noise-induced hearing loss. So the correct topic is Hearing Conservation.
