Using Noise Engineering Controls to Help Protect Workers’ Hearing, Reduce Costs and Improve Productivity

4 Pages

Brown & Brown conducted a noise exposure survey for a beverage manufacturer to determine OSHA hearing conservation program needs. Analysis showed several workers exceeded the 85 dBA threshold. Instead of enrolling all in the costly program, consultants targeted the two loudest machines with engineering controls, reducing department noise by 5 dBA to safe levels. This eliminated program requirements, saving $50K annually at a $3K cost. Benefits included lower compensation claim risks, improved safety, productivity, communication, and worker satisfaction.
