Noise exposure control: guidelines.

Abstract

American Association of Industrial Nurses Journal, May, 1968 Preface Growing interest in industrial loss of hearing has emphasized the need for reliable noise criteria for use in noise control and hearing conservation programs for industrial work... ers. While many hearing loss studies have been reported in the scientific literature, there, heretofore, has been no single source of data relating degree of hearing loss to noise exposure levels. The following GUIDELINES have been developed with the objective of supplying such a source, along with certain basic information for ,establishing hearing conservation programs. It is believed that these Guidelines will aid industrial management in 'T'ecognizing the need for, and in establishing noise control programs.
