Now hear this: OSHA unveils hearing conservation eTool
A new Web page from OSHA is designed to help prevent occupational hearing loss. The Noise and Hearing Conservation eTool is a joint product of OSHA's alliance with the National Hearing Conservation Association.
The new eTool features information on what is considered occupational noise and its potential health effects. It also provides detailed guidance on how to properly evaluate noise exposure and what constitutes an effective hearing conservation program. The eTool can be found at http://www.osha.gov/dts/osta/otm/noise/index.html.
