Hear and Now: Entrepreneurs Get Creative to Solve the Noise Safety Challenge
OSHA, MSHA and NIOSH partner on the first “Hear and Now” Noise Safety Challenge, offering the top 10 finalists the opportunity to pitch their ideas to a panel of judges on Oct. 27 in Washington, D.C.
As many as 22 million workers are exposed to hazardous noise every day at work. To combat that significant occupational health and safety challenge, OSHA, MSHA and NIOSH developed the “Hear and Now” Noise Safety Challenge. Open to the entrepreneur community, the challenge offered 10 inventors, selected from 28 challenge submissions, the opportunity to travel from all over the United States and Canada to present their solutions to better protect workers from hazardous noise.
