OSHA, which is under the United States Department of Labor
and stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration, takes great
interest in occupational noise exposure. You don’t see articles about it online
very often, or on the local or national news, but twenty-two million workers
are exposed to potentially damaging noise at work each year. Last year, U.S.
business paid more than $1.5 million in penalties for not protecting workers
from noise. To put it in even larger numbers, an estimated $242 million is
spent annually on workers' compensation for hearing loss disability.
If you
suspect that your own workplace is too noisy, here are some clues that you’re
right. From the OSHA website:
- You hear ringing or humming in your ears when you leave work.
- You have to shout to be heard by a coworker an arm's length away.
- You experience temporary hearing loss when leaving work.
If you’re reading this, chances
are you don’t work in an environment where machinery and heavy
equipment are
involved. Those situations require other solutions to the problems. But
regardless of your home or work situation, noise controls are the first things
you can implement against excessive noise exposure. With the reduction of even
a few decibels, danger to your hearing is reduced and communication is improved.
This is exactly when you’ll want
a Yacker Tracker. You set the
acceptable decibel level before the voice or siren go off, and if you like, you can set your unit to be
only visual in situations where people are hearing-impaired, or where you
require complete silence. Maybe backstage at a play? Please Take a Look
to see just how it works.
We’re pleased to offer two versions of the Yacker Tracker.
We also have a Deluxe model. Please See our

probably thing of other uses for a Yacker Tracker. We have thought of some of
them, too. Yacker

peace of mind. And that’s usually accomplished in a quieter setting.
