A European forum on hearing conservation for professionals in music and entertainment organised by BAuA, the Federal institute for occupational health and safety.

An event aimed at construction, heavy fabrication, shipbuilding and foundry industries to discuss high vibration processes, controlling hand-arm vibration and other related projects, including noise and worker involvement.
In 2006/07, HSE’s Noise and Vibration Programme focused on hand-arm vibration (HAV) at work. HSE targeted its efforts on activities known to cause high exposures to HAV, in the construction, heavy fabrication, shipbuilding and foundry industries. The already identified high vibration processes for which there are reasonably practicable alternatives were placed on HSE's Vibration website. The event gave attendees the opportunity to collaborate over the next generation of controls.
Four more roadshows were held during June 2006 for those who missed the ones held in 2005.
Organised by the NSCA, this annual initiative helps promote practical solutions to everyday noise problems.
