Hearing Protection Requirements for Food Manufacturing

摘要

The issue of hearing protection in the food processing industry - and in process industries in general - is somewhat more complex than it is in other industries in that employers must protect workers' hearing as well as protecting the purity of the product. OSHA regulations governing hearing conservation in the workplace (29 CFR 1910.95) have been in effect for over twenty years. But for food processors, a large body of additional Federal Codes, Regulations, and Compliance Policy Guides lie in wait for the manufacturer who does not pay heed to Good Manufacturing Practices.
