In New Jersey, "noise induced occupational hearing loss" is defined as a "permanent bilateral loss of hearing acuity of the sensorineural type due to prolonged, habitual exposure to hazardous noise in employment." The law defines "prolonged exposure" as "exposure to hazardous noise in employment for a period of at least 1 year" and "habitual exposure" as "exposure to noise exceeding the allowable daily dose, at least 3 days each week, for at least 40 weeks each year." "Hazardous noise" is noise which exceeds the permissible daily exposure to the corresponding noise level as shown in the following table:

There are three conditions that must be met for occupational stress:
• Proof of objectively stressful work conditions which the worker reacts to in a stressful manner
• Work conditions peculiar to the workplace (not just common to everyone)
• Objective medical evidence showing that the work conditions were the material cause of the psychiatric disability
Stress is a serious situation that needs to be lessened for psychological health. The costs to the economy are vast, resulting in higher than average staff turnover, increased absenteeism, excessive accident rates, low morale, and legal action being against employers.
