Proposed National Strategies for the Prevention of Leading Work-Related Diseases and Injuries. Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

摘要

The document summarizes what actions need to be taken to prevent occupational noise-induced hearing loss. The prevention strategy presented in the document draws on national expertise to eliminate occupational noise-induced hearing loss. Individual and coordinated efforts are recommended to reduce hearing loss steadily in populations exposed to noise in the workplace until that component of hearing loss attributable to occupational exposure to noise is eliminated.
