training for select employees to function as industrial hygiene support staff. VMC is also leading the advancements in noise monitoring strategies for mobile workers by integrating sophisticated technologies such as GPS, and video into their noise measurement protocols.
This year there are two innovation awardees. One is pre- sented to Johns Manville (JM), a Berkshire Hathaway com- pany and a leading manufacturer of premium-quality build- ing insulation, commercial roofing, roof insulation, and spe- cialty products for commercial, industrial and residential applications. They are recognized for their implementation of an innovative hearing loss prevention program that uses metrics to track noise exposure levels along with noise con-
trol engineering training.
The second award for Innovation goes to Dangerous
Decibels®, a multi-faceted, evidence-based intervention pro- gram dedicated to the prevention of noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus. It is being recognized for the development, widespread dissemination and cultural adaptation of innova- tive training strategies shown to positively change knowledge, attitudes and behaviors in youth and adults, including occupa- tional settings (www.dangerousdecibels.org), and applying solid scientific and theoretical basis into all program aspects.
Nominations for the next awards will be accepted until September 6, 2013. For further information please visit www.safeinsound.us.
