• Description:
  To encourage the consideration and implementation of engineering noise controls in the American workplace, NIOSH is currently working to promote the use of straightforward, easy-to-implement noise controls. The strategy is to simplify implementing noise controls by emphasizing "Top 10 Engineering Noise Controls" on a future web resource entitled How to Protect Workers from Noise. This web resource will be aimed at safety professionals who may not have a background in engineering. This top 10 list is not meant to be comprehensive or replace the services of certified noise control engineers, but rather to give safety professionals and employers a starting point. The goal at NIOSH is to encourage the idea that engineering noise controls need not be overly complicated or difficult to implement. [Description provided by NIOSH]
