The Hazard Evaluations and Technical Assistance Branch (HETAB) of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a request for assistance from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) New England Regional Occupational Health and Safety Office in August 2000, to evaluate noise exposures that aviation safety inspectors encounter during their employment. A previous investigation at Boston's Logan International Airport recommended that the inspectors be included in the agency's hearing conservation program. The FAA wanted to determine if other inspectors within the region should also be included in some level of a hearing conservation program.
