Fortunately, noise exposure can be controlled and technology exists to reduce the hazards. Aside from employer/employee concern with the inherent hazards of noise, added attention has been brought to focus on the subject through regulatory requirements. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) every employer is legally responsible for providing a workplace free of hazards such as excessive noise. It has been estimated that 14 million US workers are expo 606 $aIndustrial noise 606 $aNoise control 615 0$aIndustrial noise. 615 0$aNoise control. 676 $a620.2/3 701 $aCheremisinoff$b Nicholas P$09207 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006668903321 996 $aNoise control in industry$94392097 997 $aUNINA
