A compliant testing day follows nine sequential steps. Step 1 — Daily calibration: headphones check, room scan, and biological verification must be completed before any employee testing begins; OSHA requires the functional check before each day's use (29 CFR 1910.95(h)(5)(i)).
A compliant testing day follows nine sequential steps. Step 1 — Daily calibration: headphones check, room scan, and biological verification must be completed before any employee testing begins; OSHA requires the functional check before each day’s use (29 CFR 1910.95(h)(5)(i)). Step 2 — Room scan confirmation: the room scan result must be documented before testing starts; if the room fails, testing cannot proceed in that location. Step 3 — Employee intake: confirm employee identity, retrieve demographic data, verify noise exposure assessment and baseline status. Step 4 — Pre-test instruction: orient the employee to the test interface and response method; ensure they understand the task before tones begin. Step 5 — Testing: run automated, assisted, or manual mode as appropriate; REACT™ Safeguards monitor ambient noise and response patterns throughout. Step 6 — Digital signature: both employee and examiner sign the audiogram record on-device. Step 7 — Result review: STS is calculated automatically; examiner confirms test is complete and valid. Step 8 — Triage: audiogram is reviewed against configured rules; STS or problem audiogram flags route the file to the appropriate next action. Step 9 — Sync: completed audiograms upload to the portal when connectivity is available. SHOEBOX: This nine-step workflow maps directly to the SHOEBOX PureTest testing flow. Steps 1–2 correspond to PureTest’s daily calibration and room scan sequence; Steps 3–7 run within the PureTest app on the iPad; Steps 8–9 are handled by the Data Management Portal’s triage and sync functions.
