✦ Synopsis
only mandatory in four EEC countries. Furthermore, limitation of both the level and number of high intensity impulses per day is virtually ignored in the EEC apart from Belgium. For comparison, the laws on the protection of workers' hearing, as they apply in Sweden, Norway, the USA, Canada and Australia are reviewed. Legislation on workers' compensation for occupational deafness is examined, a distinction being drawn between the adversary and clinical systems. The role played by the trade unions in checking the effectiveness of hearing conservation measures in Canada, Germany and the USA is also discussed. 8.4.34 (72306) Burns, W., and Robinson, D.W.
