Equipment that monitors noise and can help reduce occupational expose to it and a device for preventing contact with pinch points were this week’s top products of the week.

According to estimates from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 22 million workers across the United States are exposed to potentially damaging levels of noise at work each year.[1] Worldwide, it is estimated that up to 24% of instances of hearing impairment are related to noise exposure in the workplace.[2]

Copper socks, software that captures noise exposure in a single measurement and portable shade shelters were the top occupational safety and health products featured on ISHN.com this week.
