Noise Abatement Program. The Company will make an on-going effort to address noise concerns where levels are above the legislated levels, particularly with the introduction of new equipment, machinery and technology as part of plant modernization and new facility installations. The Health, Safety and Environment Committee will identify and prioritize noise areas, monitor noise abatement across the plants, including sound survey results, and make appropriate recommendations. Further, audiometric tests will be conducted annually for those employees whose average noise exposure exceeds eighty (80) decibels (dBA). Permanent records of audiometric tests and sound survey results will be maintained at the plants. Management of the plants will be instructed to review annually with the Health, Safety and Environment Committee, in sufficient detail, the noise abatement programs currently in effect and those it is planning to undertake. This information will be supplied in writing to the Health, Safety and Environment Committee with the understanding the Health, Safety and Environment Committee will have ample opportunity to discuss the noise abatement program with Management and make recommendations designed to improve upon it.
