NOISE CONTROL AND HEARING CONSERVATION NEWS

CCOHS Introduces E-Course for Hearing Loss Prevention To address the common health hazard of noise in the workplace, the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) developed an e-course that offers practical guidance to help employers reduce or eliminate noise exposure and prevent hearing loss.
Best Practices Make Better Hearing Conservation Programs While the language of OSHA's Occupational Noise Standard (CFR 29 1910.95) may appear convoluted, its dictates are rather straightforward, says Renee Bessette, a certified occupational hearing conservationist.
Study: Lack of Hearing Protection Increases Injury Risk for Farmers Farmers who don't use hearing protection have an increased risk of getting hurt on the job, according to a new University of Iowa study.

NYC Code Provides the Sound of Things to Come New York City's noise ordinance may become the model for new city and state codes across the country.
Can You Hear Me Now? The Impacts of Hearing Loss Though it's one of the most common workplace injuries, noise-induced hearing loss also is one of the most overlooked. Employees and employers who don't pay attention to the importance of hearing protection potentially could lose much more than just their hearing.
Going Beyond the Minimum with Hearing Conservation Hearing loss is the Rodney Dangerfield of workplace hazards: It just doesn’t get any respect.
