| Resumen |
The effective efficacy of 4 periods of hearing protection enforcement was compared: the "voluntary period" (1951-1961); the "mandatory period" (1961-1968); the "earmuff period" (1968-1971) and the "OSHA period" (1971-1978). During the voluntary period, hearing loss among noise-exposed workers was very much higher than in a non-noise-exposed group. Mandatory use of personal protective devices was much more effective. Mandatory use of earmuffs exclusively was less effective than mandatory use of personal hearing protection when the worker was given a choice of or earplugs. Enactment of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (the OSHA period) did not result in greater hearing conservation than the earlier mandatory hearing conservation program. |
