29 CFR 1910.95 Occupational noise exposure and hearing conservation
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reports that about 10 
million workers nationwide incur permanent hearing loss, while nearly 30 million of us are exposed to dangerous levels in our day to day occupations.

This presentation covers the topics of noise exposure at work and away from work:
