ASSE Member Helps Win First Safe-In-Sound Award

摘要

Handling water sanitation can be louder than it seems. There are pumps, engines, trucks, fans and a plethora of other sound sources that can damage a worker's hearing. In Ohio, facilities are not required to follow OSHA regulations for hearing loss prevention programs, but Connie Muncy, ASSE member and safety officer at the Montgomery County Water Services plant in Ohio, has implemented a program that not only complies with the regulations, but also exceeds them. Her work earned the plant's first NIOSH Safe-In-Sound award in the Safety Service category.
