Applying mathematical modeling to create job rotation schedules for minimizing occupational noise exposure.

This research developed worker schedules by using administrative controls and a computer programming model to reduce the likelihood of worker hearing loss. By rotating the workers through different jobs during the day it was possible to reduce their exposure to hazardous noise levels. Computer simul...
