According to
EHS Today, hearing loss is the most common
issue that affects workers. Fortunately, it’s easily preventable once
you identify areas of your worksite with high levels of sound. You can
do this by using a sound level meter or a noise dosimeter, but what if
one of these tools isn’t available? Try standing a few feet away from a
coworker and speaking normally. If you can’t be heard without raising
your voice, you can assume that the environment is loud enough to
require ear protection.
Brush up on other noise protection best practices with these
six tips from EHS Today and this
pocket guide from OSHA.
