About the Cover

In this issue, we feature an article that focuses on occupational safety and health. The article, “Effectiveness of a Multifaceted Occupational Noise and Hearing Loss Intervention Among Landscaping and Groundskeeping Workers,” evaluates attitudes and behavior of wearing hearing protection devices among groundskeeping workers and tests the effectiveness of educational training on worker knowledge. While workers recognize the importance of wearing hearing protection devices, actual use is inconsistent. The findings of this article make the case for regular training provided by employers, as well as the promotion of hearing protection device usage.
