Noise is often overlooked as a hazard because there are no obvious indicators of acute or chronic exposure. However, noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) is one of the highest workers compensation expenses agencies have for non-traumatic injuries.
Are the noise levels in your facility too high? Are your workers in expensive hearing conservation programs? OSHA directs that engineering controls should be the first step - USA Noise Control will develop a noise control plan and help implement it.
