Research conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) has focused on producing noise treatments to reduce noise generated by

Thus, the objective of the study has been to reduce operator exposure to that
noise. A drill steel enclosure has been developed as an engineering control.
