There are an estimated half million-construction workers exposed to hazardous levels of noise. On Wednesday, May 2 at 11:00 AM CDT, ASSE will present a special Technical Conference Call on the ANSI/ASSE A10.46-2007 standard.

ASSE serves as the secretariat for the A10 Accredited Standards Committee on construction and demolition operations.
