A Promising Study for Workers with Tinnitus
A two-part study shows that the sounds perceived by workers with tinnitus could be reduced, while sensitivity to external sounds could be improved. The results suggest that wearing earplugs increases sensitivity to sound while wearing noise generators reduces it. This modulation of perception takes place late in the hearing process.

Now Available: Update to ExpoFIRST (Version 2.1)

Notice: EPA is announcing the release of an update to the Exposure Factors Interactive Resource for Scenarios Tool (ExpoFIRST), a companion tool to the Exposure Factors Handbook (EFH).

ExpoFIRST allows users to draw on data found in the 2011 edition of the EFH, as well as recent chapter updates, to develop user defined scenarios based on route of exposure, medium, receptors, timeframe, and dose metric for a contaminant of concern. The tool aims to maximize flexibility and transparency for exposure assessors. To view the recent update, visit

Sometimes I do not have an interest in the issues and topics presented in this forum, until later when I have a need for the information.

Jonathan Klane said in part: "I and others wonder how much value there has
been in the archives? "

I agree that as a resource for current questions the archive is probably of
low value to most current subscribers.

However, a hallmark of the digital age is that much current information is
lost because it is not archived digitally and is never rendered into more
permanent form such as a book, magazine, or even a letter or diary. The
result will be massive cultural amnesia. We can do our part to mitigate
that, for our profession at the least, by

When does a reduction in injury numbers become statistically significant?

By Dr. Marloes Nitert and Dr. Sidney Dekker

Those who’ve been around safety (and particularly safety differently) long enough, know that LTI (Lost Time Injuries) is a lousy safety measure. LTI, after all, was once instituted as a productivity measure, not a safety measure. But LTI is actually quite a silly measure too. This blog shows just how silly it

Hello Everyone,

This is a common problem that I wanted to get input from the group.

Our Facilities HVAC team has to replace motors, etc that are located on our roofs. We are looking at different options for safely handling these motors that can range in weight from 65lbs to over 100lbs. The challenge is getting these motors off the roof and getting the new motor up to the roof without having to rent a crane.

The Effectiveness of Manual Handling Training Programs
A systematic review of the literature examines why manual handling training contributes little to the prevention of back pain and MSDs. The study argues for training programs to use a variety of methods in diverse contexts, in contrast to the uniformity of content that is essentially based on the so-called “straight back, bent knees” technique.

To reduce the risk of exposure, employers should install an effective ventilation system, use carbon monoxide detectors, and take other

There are a lot of negatives to donning hearing protection in a cleanroom,
and then wearing it for hours on end, unable to take it out or off. Even
the best foam plugs can get itchy and drive workers bonkers.

Why not consider what OSHA advises, “OSHA requires feasible engineering OR
administrative controls, and mandatory hearing protection when the PEL is
exceeded.”
