Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field Cleveland, OH 44135 U.S.A. John J. Mikulic NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field Cleveland, OH 44135 U.S.A. INTRODUCTION At the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field (formerly the Lewis Research Center), experimental research in aircraft and space propulsion systems is conducted in more than 100 test cells and laboratories. These facilities are supported by a central process air system that supplies high-volume, high-pressure compressed air and vacuum at various conditions that simulate altitude flight. Nearly 100,000 ft 2 of metalworking and specialized fabrication shops located on-site produce prototypes, models, and test hardware in support of experimental research operations. These activities, comprising numerous individual noise sources and operational scenarios, result in a varied and complex noise exposure environment, which is the responsibility of the Glenn Research Center Noise Exposure Management Program. Hearing conservation, community noise complaint response and noise control engineering services are included under the umbrella of this Program, which encompasses the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard on occupational noise exposure, §29CFR 1910.95[ 1], as well as the more stringent NASA Health Standard on Hearing Conservation[2].

  • Noise Control Methods for Shipbuilding
    Noise Control Methods for Shipbuilding Final Report NSRP Subcontract Agreement No. 2012-424 Presented To: National Shipbuilding Research Program Operated by Advanced Technology Incorporated Prepared By: Daniel O. Chute, CIH, CSP Atrium Environmental Health and Safety Services, LLC Atrium Environmental Health and Safety Services, LLC 11495 Sunset Hills Road, Suite 210 Reston, VA 20190 November 1, 2012 Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Final Report Noise Control Methods for Shipbuilding; NSRP Agreement No. 2012‐424 November 1, 2012 Page 2 of 14 Abstract Noise control has always been a big issue in shipyards. OSHA regulations for Occupational Exposure to Noise in 29CFR 1910.95 define specific requirements for shipyard employment, including surveillance, audiometric testing, training and use of approved PPE for exposures exceeding 85 dBA over a full shift. Experience has demonstrated that uncontrolled exposure represents a major loss-control issue by contributing to Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), citations, lower productivity and costly compensation claims. A wide variety of equipment and operations commonly found in shipbuilding have the potential to produce excessive noise levels requiring OSHA compliance action and the use hearing protection unless employers have sampling data to document their equipment operates below the action thresholds. The goal of this project was to accurately measure and characterize representative noise levels generated by common shipyard manufacturing and maintenance processes, to define both representative exposure levels and to evaluate and describe the most effective control methods which are currently in place. This work is designed to promote effective and beneficial technology transfer, so that techniques and processes that may have been proven in one or two locations may be passed along to other sites to promote noise exposure reduction, where possible, with reduced trial-and-error, better innovation and ultimately, reduced exposure time before implementation.

A worker didn’t think it was important to use hearing protection while working with equipment that produced high levels of noise and usually “forgot” to wear any hearing protective devices. He eventually noticed conversations seemed quite muffled and unclear, and that he had an annoying ringing in his ears. He then learned his hearing problem was permanent and could not be improved with surgery or medication. 7.1.1 Applicability of this chapter You are required to follow this chapter if you work in a designated hazardous noise area or an area having a hazardous noise source, such as the flight line at Ellington Field or machines in a sheet metal shop. 7.1.2 What this chapter covers This chapter covers the minimum requirements for JSC’s Hearing Conservation Program (HCP). It discusses JSC’s efforts to prevent noise-induced hearing loss among employees who are exposed to hazardous noise while working at this Center. JSC managers, supervisors, and employees share responsibilities for meeting these requirements. 7.1.3 Policy 7.1.3.1 These documents govern JSC’s hearing conservation program: a. NPR 1800.1, Chapter 4 describes the general requirements and provisions of NASA’s HCP. b. 29 CFR 1910.95, “Occupational Noise Exposure,” and its appendices describe the Occupational Safety and Health Association’s (OSHA) hearing conservation standards.
