NOISE

In today’s society, noise is recognized as being one of the most threatening and common occupational hazards. In Canada, it is estimated that as many as 20 per cent of all workers will develop a permanent hearing loss due to exposure to high levels of noise. In addition to hearing loss, noise can produce physical and psychological stress. Our goal is to provide professional assistance in limiting the harmful effects of noise. We specialize in helping industry comply with government noise regulations and occupational health guidelines.
