As we reported previously, OSHA has established a Regional Emphasis Program (REP) to raise hearing protection awareness among Midwest manufacturing employers, including those in Ohio. Following a three-month outreach phase that began June 1, OSHA intends to schedule and inspect select manufacturing facilities that have hearing loss rates higher than the U.S. average. Last week, the OMA hosted a webinar that addressed noise-related health risks. OMA members have full access to the OMA’s online library — therefore, you can access this recorded webinar and accompanying handouts. 7/6/2021
