The most important reason for any mishap investigation is to prevent similar ones from occurring.
HEARING AND SIGHT CONSERVATION
The Navy's goal is to prevent occupational hearing and sight loss within the workplace and to assure that the exposure of members to potential hazardous noises and eye hazards are held to a minimum. The Navy's policy is also to provide the necessary medical care, surveillance, documentation, and treatment to all personnel.
Hearing Conservation
Environments that produce potentially hazardous noise should be modified to reduce the noise level to acceptable levels whenever it is technologically and economically feasible. The reduction of noise at the source is in the best interest of the Navy and its personnel. The Navy's Hearing Conservation Program includes the following recommendations:
Work environments are to be surveyed to identify any potentially hazardous noise levels. 1-18Continue Reading
