Approximately 30 million workers are exposed to hazardous noise on the job. Noise induced hearing loss is one of the most common occupational diseases and the second most self-reported occupational illness or injury. Work-related hearing loss continues to be a critical workplace safety and health issue. This Regional Emphasis Program will utilize Fiscal Year 2017 inspection data obtained from the IMIS to identify the top nineteen North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) groupings where violations of 29 CFR 1910.95 have been cited by OSHA.
