(NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will be holding a two-day Buy Quiet Workshop. The Workshop is a National
Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) activity jointly organized by the
NORA Construction Sector and Manufacturing Sector Programs, and the
NIOSH Hearing Loss Prevention Cross-sector Program. The purpose of the
Workshop is to determine feasibility and functionality of Buy Quiet programs and to explore proactive steps to ensure successful implementation. The Workshop goal is to stimulate the wider adoption of current and future engineering noise controls on machinery and equipment and to motivate the development and implementation of Buy
Quiet programs for the Construction and Manufacturing industries.

Status: The meeting is open to the public, limited only by the space available. The meeting space accommodates approximately 100 people.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Recommended Attendees: Purchasing agents and buyers of construction and manufacturing machinery and equipment who believe ``Buy Quiet'' programs can be effectively and efficiently woven into existing procurement processes.
Construction and manufacturing employers who wish to investigate the cost effectiveness of ``Buy Quiet'' and determine how best to use the program to demonstrate best available engineering noise control technology is being deployed at their worksites.
Noise control engineers, product designers and manufacturers wishing to learn how best to gather and present noise level information and to provide necessary information to their customers in support of
``Buy Quiet'' programs.
Other safety and health professionals and employee representatives who want to assist in bringing ``Buy Quiet'' programs into the workplace.
Format: Day one will provide presentations from invited speakers.
Day two will combine presentations with break-out sessions and roundtable discussions. The break-outs and roundtable will provide participants the opportunity to share relevant experiences and aspirations on process techniques for implementation, incentives and barriers for implementation, and research to practice products and partnerships.
Note: This workshop is not a sales event nor will exhibits of any kind be allowed. Any attendees who attempt to use this meeting for sales purposes will be asked to leave. This meeting is to explore methods for the development and implementation of ``Buy
Quiet'' programs that meet the needs of the business community identified as part of the Construction and Manufacturing industry sectors.
