Safety 2012 Proceedings

670 Expo Education: Stopping Noise-Induced Hearing Loss in the Workplace (B)

Instructor: Brad Witt, M.A., Honeywell Safety Products, San Diego, CA

Description: Despite 30 years of effort, many hearing conservation programs function merely as hearing loss documentation programs. Ineffective programs often focus on lagging indicators, such as audiometric testing or noise reduction ratings of hearing protectors. Attendees of this session will learn to use leading indicators to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.
