Recordable work-related injuries include Dow employees and contractors performing work at Dow locations. The majority of our illness counts relate to hearing, so we are taking the following actions: • All noise hazards have been identified based on industrial hygiene assessments and noise monitoring. • Noise hazards in the workplace caused or contributed to these work-related hearing threshold shifts. • Noise hazards are identified, prioritized and then projects are put in place to reduce or eliminate noise hazards. These projects include elimination, engineering controls, and improved personal protection equipment (PPE) and administrative controls. (Refer to P1 Health hazard elimination efforts, which include P1 noise hazards).
