Industrial hygienists

"father of industrial medicine,"

Bernardo Ramazzini

Bernardo Ramazzini's published comprehensive book on industrial medicine

De Morbis Artificum Diatriba (The Diseases of Workmen).

contained accurate descriptions of the occupational diseases of most of the workers of his time. Ramazzini greatly affected the future of industrial hygiene because he asserted that occupational diseases should be studied in the work environment rather than in hospital wards.

De Morbis Artificum Diatriba

trained to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and recommend controls for environmental and physical hazards that can affect the health and well-being of workers.

Industrial hygienists

fundamental method of protecting workers.

excessive levels of ionizing and nonionizing electromagnetic radiation, noise, vibration, illumination, and temperature.

Physical hazard

Exposure to high levels of __ can cause permanent hearing loss. Neither surgery nor a hearing aid can help correct this type of hearing loss. Short term exposure to loud noise can also cause a temporary change in hearing (your ears may feel stuffed up) or a ringing in your ears (tinnitus).

noise

what unit measures the sound pressure levels?

Decibels

Where does the measurement unit 'Decibel' came from?

Alexander Graham Bell

first line of defense against excessive noise exposure. The use of these controls should aim to reduce the hazardous exposure to the point where the risk to hearing is eliminated or minimized.

Engineering controls

Controlling noise exposure through __ is often an effective, yet simple and inexpensive administrative control.

distance

An effective _____ must be implemented by employers in general industry whenever worker noise exposure is equal to or greater than 85 dBA for an 8-hour exposure or in the construction industry when exposures exceed 90 dBA for an 8 hour exposure.

Hearing Conservation Program
