Foster Instruments delivers on-site audiometric testing to Kentucky manufacturers, distilleries, auto suppliers, and logistics operators. CAOHC-certified technicians arrive with the mobile booth, audiometer, and OSHA-ready paperwork.
Built for Kentucky’s Industrial Employers
Kentucky’s economy runs on auto assembly, bourbon and beverage production, aluminum, logistics, and aerospace components — and every one of those operations has workers exposed above the OSHA 85 dBA action level. Foster Instruments brings the entire OSHA hearing conservation program to your site so your Kentucky workforce stays compliant without a single trip to a clinic.
We regularly serve facilities in Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Owensboro, Covington, Florence, Hopkinsville, Frankfort, Richmond, Paducah, Henderson, and Elizabethtown, plus rural plants across the state.
