Public Domain


Details

  • Personal Author:
    Derzay, Raymond
  • Description:
    This publication is intended to be of value to the mineral industry in establishing and maintaining effective programs for preventing noise-induced hearing loss. Factors involved in this loss and the need for and the requirements of an effective hearing conservation program are discussed. The legal and legislative history of compensation for hearing loss is briefly reviewed. A review of statutes is not attempted since several states have recently modified, or are in the process of modifying their laws regarding permissible noise exposures, required hearing protection, and/or compensation for hearing loss. A review of other aspects of the problem of industrial noise in terms of medical, physiological, and psychological frames of reference is included. A hearing conservation program is described in detail. Appendixes detailing the names and addresses of a few equipment suppliers are included. References are provided for those who may wish to delve more deeply into the medical, technical, and scientific considerations of noise and its effect on man. [Description provided by NIOSH]
