The purpose of this presentation is to review the need for engineering controls to address high noise levels within factory “in-plant” settings to within OSHA guidelines.
At the end of this presentation, you will be able to:
- Explain the 8-hour time weighted average noise level set by OSHA that requires the implementation of a hearing conservation program.
- Identify the three main characteristics of effective noise control.
- Describe the advantages of implementing engineering controls in lieu of personal protective equipment.
- Compare the different products used for controlling noise in a factory setting.
