Abstract

A brief historical background to occupational noise regulations is provided with a description of the "dose-relationships" used today. A summary of the regulations (existing and proposed) in Canada is presented outlining noise limits and various alternative noise protection measures. The benefits of hearing conservation programmes and education, and the limitations of present regulations are discussed. Methods of assessment of compensation for occupational noise-induced hearing loss are also described.
