Sponsored by hearing conservation leaders E-A-R, Peltor and 3M, http://www.NRRUpdate.com offers news updates as changes are made, answers to frequently asked questions, articles and the opportunity to pose questions to hearing conservation experts, including E-A-R Senior Scientist Elliott Berger, and 3M Technical Advisor Ted Madison.
“There are a number of agencies and steps involved before the changes can go into effect,” explained Berger. “Visitors can learn about the various agencies and organizations involved, including the EPA and ANSI, and better understand how they fit into the regulatory process.
