About the Webinar: In this webinar the viewer will leave with an understanding of how the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) conducts worksite inspections with an emphasis on occupational noise. OSHA National Office employees will provide information on how Compliance Safety and Health Officers (CSHOs) are taught and trained on knowledge and skills for their job. They will discuss the sections of OSHA’s Field Operations Manual (FOM) and OSHA’s Technical Manual (OTM) as resources for evaluating and controlling noise hazards.

Presenters: Brian T. Liddell, MSPH, CIH, Juan Nevarez, MSPH
