Industrial Noise Control Handbook
Controlling noise is an increasing challenge to the industrial world.
Reasons for business to be concerned about industrial noise are many. and include the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA 1970).
Studies have shown that workers exposed to high noise levels have low working efficiency. Noise can furthermore be responsible for a wide range of psychological and physiological ills such as nervous tension. heart disorders and circulatory problems.
This volume was designed for use by engineers faced with industrial noise problems. It should also be of use to consultants and planners. as well as the student. It is written in general technical language aimed to facilitate its use and stresses the practical rather than the theoretical.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act requires that employers provide a noise control program whenever employees work in an environment exposing them to such hazards. Hopefully. this book will provide the necessary information in meeting OSHA requirements. thus making possible a safer and more productive work environment.
