Should OSHA require sound suppressors on all fire arms?? Britians OSHA does so I've heard. This is to protect the shooters hearing.
Any one have a problem with protecting your hearing?
How can sound suppressors be dangerious, so dangerious that they need to be regestered with ATF?
My friend's dad is in his late 80s and is a Pearl survivor. He got his hearing wasted by the 16" guns. The gov won't even pay for his hearing aids. So I won't hold my breath.
Gov is a parasite. It takes, and rarely gives anything meaningful back. It is kind of like a slot machine. It might kick a few coins back now and then to deceive you into believing you have something to gain by being around it.
The lawyers must not be able to make money from loss of hearing claims. More than 30 years in construction and I don't recall hearing protection being an OSHA thing.
I do believe that over a certain exposure level hearing pro is required to be provided by the employer, but use is up to the employee unless mandated by the employer. That being said my employer offers foam ear plugs and several co workers wear them , they push them in their ears just enough they dont fall out, and I'm sure it dampens the noise, but they aren't worn correctly and aren't as effective as they should be.
I wear ear plugs if I'm going to be in a loud location for any period of time or I'm welding or cutting with a torch, hot slag in your inner ear isn't something I ever want to experience.

I work for a Paving and site development company and our guys are trained in how to use hearing protection and all the equipment operators and the guys who work on the ground around equipment use at least foamies. Every year at our big Start Up meeting they go over how to properly use them and every year twice a year we have our hearing tested.
I worked for a transmission rebuilding center. It was pretty noisy in the shop and especially in the parts washer area. OSHA came in and put decibel recorders on some of the techs. Based on what was recorded they made different requirements for sections of the shop.
I don't see why a suppressor is a taxed/registered device, either.
