Too much noise at work can damage hearing. So badly that it can lead to noise-induced hearing loss, a hearing impairment that no longer heals. In order to protect employees from noise-induced hearing loss, employers must make an inventory of places and activities (RI&E, Risk Inventory and Evaluation) and take measures. And, of course, the effectiveness of those measures must also be monitored. Excessive noise not only increases the risk of hearing damage but can sometimes also lead to increased blood pressure, the occurrence of stress, concentration disorders and fatigue. In addition, the risk of accidents increases because, for example, warning signals are not heard.
When someone is exposed to sounds above 80 dB(A) for at least 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, it can cause permanent damage. And that, of course, benefits no one, neither your employees nor your company.
As a company, you are obliged to take (appropriate) measures to minimize hearing damage in your employees. For example, with our custom-made otoplastics.
Noise-induced hearing loss is incurable, but preventable.
In the workplace, exposure to harmful noise can be reduced by:
If this is unsuccessful or inadequate, workers must use hearing protection devices that prevent hearing damage.
