Occupational Noise

Occupational noise refers to the loud sounds encountered in the workplace that can potentially harm hearing. It includes noises such as machinery, tools, or equipment used in various industries like construction, manufacturing, or agriculture. Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can cause hearing loss, tinnitus, or other health issues. To prevent this, workplaces often implement measures like sound barriers, ear protection, and regular hearing tests. Managing occupational noise is essential for maintaining worker health and safety while ensuring productivity.
