Last year, I asked a worker to use ear plugs in an almond huller. He said he would not be able to hear machine problems with ear plugs. I asked him to try them, at least for a couple of hours. Two days later, when I returned, he thanked me. He could no longer stand the noise in the huller without them, and he could hear differences in the machinery better. The law requires ear protection at anything over 85 decibels.
