Review of: Hearing Protection, A Guide for Those Who Manufacture, Test, or Use Explosives

Reveiw by John Bergman

This publication addresses a much wider range of hearing protection issues than explosive noise per se. Despite its being structured specifically around British standards and regulations, its applicability to noise sources of all kinds should make it useful to safety personnel and industrial hygienists in any manufacturing environment. The guide opens with a comprehensive checklist for assessing noise problems, possible methods for reducing noise and noise exposure, choosing the most appropriate protective devices, managing the use of hearing protection by employees, and keeping records. The essentials that must be considered in any hearing protection program are concisely addressed in this convenient and easily understood tool.
