Construction, manufacturing industries will be focus
Safety professionals interested in implementing "Buy Quiet" programs in their workplaces take note: the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) will hold a Buy Quiet Workshop Nov. 9-10 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
NIOSH says the workshop will explore methods for developing and implementing "Buy Quiet" programs that meet the needs of the business community -- especially in the construction and manufacturing industries. The feasibility of Buy Quiet programs will be examined in an effort to stimulate the wider adoption of current and future engineering noise controls on machinery. Organizers also hope to stimulate the development of Buy Quiet programs specifically for construction and manufacturing.
