• Description:
  The Safe-in-Sound Excellence in Hearing Loss Prevention Award was created in a partnership between the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the National Hearing Conservation Association (NHCA) in late 2006. The objective of this initiative is to obtain information about real-world successful hearing loss prevention programs and public health practices currently used in industry, and disseminate it widely. By disseminating evidence-based strategies, Safe-in-Sound could enable other groups to effectively advance hearing loss prevention practice. The first awards were presented in 2009, and have since been presented annually. This year, the awards were presented at the 40th Annual NHCA Conference on February 20th, 2015 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The award recipients were also recognized at the 2015 American Industrial Hygiene Conference & Exposition. [Description provided by NIOSH]
