Noise-induced hearing loss can be walk. (2) On audiometric testing, average hearing loss in the unaided costly to workers as it can interfere with their daily tasks. It may make it better ear greater than 40 decibels (dB) at 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 2000 impossible to hear important warning signals and other important sounds, Hz when the audiometric device is calibrated to ANSI Z24.5.

  • United States Navy Hospital Corpsman
    HOSPITAL CORPSMAN “Health is necessary in war and cannot be replaced by anything else. Napoleon The primary mission of the Medical Department of the United States Navy, of which the Hospital Corps is a part, is s To keep as many men at as many guns as many days as possible As a member of the Hospital Corps you can contribute directly to the job of keeping our guns firing. There is no better way to serve your country and your fellow man. If you can qualify for admission to the Hospital Corps, the Navy will train you for your duties. Prepared for the Occupational information and Guidance Service, Vocational Division, U. S. OFFICE OF EDUCATION, Federal Security Agency, by the Hospital Corps Section, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, UNITED STATES NAVY . December 1, 1943 INTRODUCTION From its very beginning as an established Corps in 1898 the Hospital Corps of the United States Navy has been devoted to humanitarian service. It has administered first aid and nursing care to the sick and injured of the Navy and Marine Corps during three of the Nation’s wars, and through the many years of intervening peace. For more than a century prior to its organization by act of Congress* the pioneers of the Hospital Corps—the Hospital Mates, the Hospital Stewards, the Surgeon’s Stewards, the Apothecaries, the Nurses and the Bay men—served faithfully and energetically in the Medical Department of the Navy. On numerous occasions of the past members of the Hospital Corps have been assigned to civilian areas for first-aid and relief work in times of disaster.

  • Chemical Hazards and Toxic Substances Chemical Hazards and Toxic Substances
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR OSHA Menu OSHA STANDARDS TOPICS HELP AND RESOURCES Contact Us FAQ A to Z Index English Español Safety and Health Topics / Chemical Hazards and Toxic Substances Chemical Hazards and Toxic Substances Chemical Hazards and Toxic Substances Menu Overview What are chemical hazards and toxic substances? Chemical hazards and toxic substances pose a wide range of health hazards (such as irritation, sensitization, and carcinogenicity) and physical hazards (such as flammability, corrosion, and explosibility). This page provides basic information about chemical hazards and toxic substances in the workplace. While not all hazards associated with every chemical and toxic substance are addressed here, we do provide relevant links to other pages with additional information about hazards and methods to control exposure in the workplace. How does OSHA regulate worker exposure to chemicals? Worker education and training (Hazard Communication Standard) 29 CFR 1910.1200, 1915.1200, 1917.28, 1918.90, and 1926.59 OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is designed to ensure that information about chemical and toxic substance hazards in the workplace and associated protective measures is disseminated to workers. In order to ensure chemical safety in the workplace, information about the identities and hazards of the chemicals must be available and understandable to workers. OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires the development and dissemination of such information: Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and prepare labels and safety data sheets to convey the hazard information to their downstream customers; All employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces must have labels and safety data sheets for their exposed workers, and train them to handle the chemicals appropriately.
