4、oustical Society of AmericaANSI Technical Report Registered: 26 August 2002American National Standards Institute, Inc.ABSTRACTThis ANSI Technical Report describes methods for evaluating the effectiveness of hearing conservationprograms in preventing occupational noise-induced hearing loss by using t

5、echniques for audiometric database analysis. The rationale is given for using the variability of threshold measurements in annual monitoringaudiograms as the basis for judging effectiveness. Guidelines are discussed concerning how to select arestricted data base to which the analysis procedures will

6、 be applied. Specific procedures for data analysisare defined, and criterion ranges are given for classifying program effectiveness as acceptable, marginal, orunacceptable. Sample results for industrial audiometric data bases contributed to Working GroupS12/WG12 are included as an annex for referenc

These committees have wide r

The standards are published by the AcousticalSociety of America through the American Institute of Physics as American NationalStandards after approval by their re

These standards are developed and published as a public service to provide standardsuseful to the public, industry, and consumers, and to federal, state and local govern-ments.Each of the Accredited Standards Committees oper

The ASAStandards Secretariat administers committee organization and activity, and providesliaison between the Accred

11、ited Standards Committees and ANSI. After the standardshave been produced and adopted by the Accredited Standards Committees, andapproved as American National Standards by ANSI, the ASA Standards Secretariatarranges for their publication and distribution.An American National Standard implies a conse

12、nsus of those substantially concernedwith its scope and provisions. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of theANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directlyand materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a sim-ple majority,

13、 but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views andobjections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution.The use of an American National Standard is completely voluntary. Their existencedoes not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved
