Are You Ready For The New FRA Noise Exposure Regulation?

Oconomowoc, WI — Did you know that the USA Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has amended its current standard for noise exposure in the locomotive cab? Effective February 26, 2007, the FRA is requiring railroads to conduct noise monitoring and implement a noise conservation program for railroad employees whose noise exposure equals or exceeds an 8-hour time weighted average of 85 dBA.
