Accordingly the Commissioner for Labour proposes initially to adopt a programme of advice and education. It is proposed to make short films on the subject for screening on television and for viewing by workers. Factory inspectors will also discuss problems of noise during their inspections of noisy trades and give advice and assistance whenever possible. Factory inspectors will at the same time collect information on the level of noise produced by different industries. Based on the data collected it is intended that more specific proposals will be drawn up to protect hearing of workers.

I trust you will find this information not

Yours

(I.R.Strachan )
