Past Chairs

The Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation has always been led by dedicated Council members working towards preventing occupational noise-induced hearing loss. Since the beginning, the main objective was, and is, to educate, inform and guide industry and those serving industry on successful implementation of hearing conservation programs (HCPs) to prevent occupational hearing loss.

CAOHC continues to grow and expand due, in part, to the knowledge and expertise of serving Council Chairs. The table below lists former Council Chairs and their respective CPO.
