Abstract: The proposed data collection will provide an initial step toward achieving a prioritized activity goals identified by the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) for workers in the Oil and Gas sector, specifically addressing goals related to hearing loss. NORA is a partnership program designed to stimulate innovative research and improve workplace practices. Unveiled in 1996, NORA has become a research framework for NIOSH and the nation. Diverse parties (industry, academia, government, insurance, etc.) collaborate to identify the most critical issues in workplace safety and health.
