Law enforcement hearing conservation gets a boost from award winner
A Deputy Sheriff in Florida who developed a program to help law enforcement officers protect their hearing during firearms training won the this year’s Safe-in-Sound Excellence in Hearing Loss Prevention Award™.
The award was presented to Ryan Lee Scott of the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in partnership with the National Hearing Conservation Association (NHCA). The award honors those who have contributed to the prevention of noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus through effective practices or innovations directed to those who are exposed to noise at work.
