Webinar: Can You Hear Me Now?
Quantifying Noise, Assessing Exposure, & Evaluating Results
The human ear is an intricate, highly sensitive yet incredibly durable
system with extraordinary capabilities. Noise surrounds us at all
times, including in the workplace, while commuting, as we are
entertained, and even as we try to rest. It is not surprising that
noise
is one of the most pervasive health hazards found in our lives.
This one hour presentation looked at the importance of measuring
noise, discussed various noise assessment methods, and provided a look
at
sample noise results. The webinar was designed to discuss sound
measurement for hearing conservation program exposure assessment
through
both noise dosimetry and task-based analysis, measures for noise
control
applications and environmental or community noise metrics.
Webinar: Is Safety About Achieving Success or Avoiding
Failure?
We have defined safety for so long as the lack of accidents that
we are beginning to lose sight of the objective. When accidents go away
for a while is it because of safety success or is it simply luck or
normal variation? This webinar explores what safety might look like
rather than simply the lack of accidents.
Learn the ten signs that safety is at work in your organization and how
to tell if the accidents are responding to your efforts or other
forces.
