OSHA's new booklet for construction workers provides hazard information on loud noise during construction, how noise levels are measured and how to discover if noise on the job or from tools is loud enough to cause hearing damage. The publication,
Protecting Yourself From Noise in Construction, also provides information on proper hearing protection, and examples of engineering and personnel controls that employers can use to help reduce worker exposure. Visit the
website or call (800) 321-6742 to order a copy.
