HGC Engineering Canadas Largest Noise Vibration and Acoustics Consulting...

An upcoming article in Engineering Dimensions will be co-authored by HGC Engineering and audiologist Marshall Chasin. From the HGC Engineering 'sNoise News's Weblog: In January, 2007, the government of Ontario, Canada, announced changes to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, introducing stricter limits for noise exposure in the workplace. The changes affect virtually all workplaces in the Province. The requirements will come into effect on July 1, 2007, and will toughen the regulation in a number of ways, including a reduction in the allowable daily noise exposure limit for workers, from 90 dBA to 85 dBA. And, with the new rules, it will be less acceptable to resort to the use of personal hearing protection as a method of reducing a worker'ss exposure to noise. Instead, the new regulations require that acoustical engineering be investigated to develop industrial noise control and vibration control measures.



The industrial noise control consultants at HGC Engineering maintain that, while these changes will be beneficial in terms of reducing the risk of noise-induced hearing loss in the workplace, the burden on some industrial noise makers may be onerous.
